Is there anything out there yet that will let me issue the command:

> Refactor the api folder with any recommended readability improvements or improvements that would help DRY up code without adding additional complexity.

Then I can just `git status` to see the changes?

Aider is great at this stuff. The recommended way is to have it automatically commit, and then you can examine and possibly revert/reset its commits (or just have it work on a separate branch), but you can also use --no-auto-commits

Install Cursor (https://cursor.com), go into Cursor Settings and disable everything but Claude, then open Composer (Ctrl/Cmd + I). Paste in your exact command above. I bet it’ll do something pretty close to what you’re looking for.
