I'm working on something like this. Specifically, I'm doing recursive self-improvement via autocatalysis -but predominantly in writing/research / search tasks. It's very early, but shows some very interesting signs.

The purely code part you described is a bit of an "extra steps" -you can just... vscode open target repo, "claude what does this do, how does it do it, spec it out for me" then paste into claude code for your repo "okay claude implement this". This sidesteps the security issue, the deadly trifecta, and the accumulation of unused cruft.
