DBCooker: A Database Kernel-Specialized Coding Agent Harness
Summary: DBCooker is a database-kernel-specialized coding-agent harness for synthesizing native SQL functions across coupled repositories. It combines dependency inspection, interactive planning/validation, and progressive database-aware debugging to produce kernel-ready code for SQLite, PostgreSQL, and DuckDB.
