Rewrites.bio: 60x speedup in Genomics QC + AI rewrite guidelines for Science
Summary
This manifesto argues that AI-assisted rewrites can dramatically accelerate bioinformatics software development while highlighting significant risks around correctness, attribution, and fragmentation. It presents guiding principles for responsible rewrites—credit original authors, emulate outputs exactly, be transparent about AI usage, plan and validate incrementally, and release under open source governance with upstream contributions.
