HERO-Anti-OverDefense alternatives

wanshuiyin/HERO-Anti-OverDefense (804 stars, +190 this week): HERO = Hashing · Edge cases · Rubrics · Overbuild — the four shapes coding agents over-defend in. A paste-in contract that stops them.

Below are 12 other Coding agents repos tracked by OSS Radar that share at least two GitHub topics about what they do with HERO-Anti-OverDefense (platform, language and framework tags don't count), ordered by how closely their topics overlap (rarer shared topics count more), then by stars gained in the last 7 days. Topic overlap means a similar problem space, not a drop-in replacement, so check each project's README.
