A prototype Ruby library called training_wheels parses code with parse_tree into s‑expressions and runs on save like autotest, matching trigger patterns (example: detect two alias_method calls and suggest alias_method_chain) and emitting advice via stdout, Growl, say or raising an air/error for CI. Wheels live in a wheels directory, can open a gist for docs, claim to reduce support load, live repo on GitHub, and the proof‑of‑concept works after ~40 hours online.
