Isn’t this exactly the opposite of what you want when you’re checking style? The entire point of a style is that it’s a list of strict, simple rules that you want to follow without variance.
Unless this is trying to get deeper than merely style, and is supposed to evaluate the design/structure of the code, which can be more nebulous. That’s a lot to ask of a neural net, though, when most developers struggle with it.
