Description:
There is significant code duplication between the 9 AI provider plugins (Claude, Gemini, Mistral, etc.). Many classes like completion providers, actions, UI components, and chat panels are nearly identical copies with only provider-specific changes.
Impact:
- High maintenance burden
- Risk of inconsistent fixes
- Harder to add new providers
Recommendation:
Extract shared base classes into ai/core or a new ai/common module:
- BaseAIClient
- BaseCompletionProvider
- BaseChatTopComponent
- BaseOptionsPanelController
This would dramatically reduce LOC and improve consistency.
