Verification debt
AI writes a steadily increasing share of the code in a codebase. The amount of it that a human actually verifies does not rise at the same rate. The gap between those two lines is verification debt, and unlike most debt it is invisible on the day it is taken on.
Enterprises are racing to adopt AI coding assistants without building a verification culture to match. What reaches production is not only code. It is compounding, unexamined risk.
Why “karma”
The name comes from the distinction between dharma and karma: the strategy you hold, and the act that has to follow it.
Strategy without validation never earns an outcome you can stand behind.
An AI assistant supplies the strategy. Agent Karma is concerned with what you did about it.
What it is
A free, open-source, entirely local AI-validation coach for VS Code.
The distinguishing thing about it is what it refuses to do: it does not write code. Every other tool in the category produces more output for you to skim. Agent Karma sits on the other side of that transaction and asks the question the tooling skips:
Did you verify what the AI produced before you trusted it?
Because it runs entirely on your machine, nothing about how you work with AI is sent anywhere — which is what makes it usable inside an organisation that could not export that telemetry even if it wanted to.
The same conviction runs through this and C2Valis: a claim isn’t real until it’s evidenced. There it’s a claimed cost saving; here it’s a line of code nobody read.
