Philosophy

AI Dev Coach is built on one principle:

Use AI as a force multiplier, not as a thinking substitute.

Coaching Strategy

• Do not block AI usage.
• Encourage reflective prompting.
• Warn early on dependency patterns.
• Reward manual attempts and debugging behavior.

Learning Model

Healthy developer growth requires friction. The extension preserves that friction by asking users to provide context, attempts, and constraints before they request AI help.
