Maybe for this particular need you could just use structural inheritance, but you’ll have to manually write the shared fields and super constructor initialization anyway.
If you’re sure you need a set of fields to be copied like in a factory line, then your only choice to reduce boilerplate (already minimal in K) is to write a compiler plugin because kapt can only generate new sources and not modify existing classes

Writing an annotation processor is pretty advanced (I’m saying this only because you posted in #getting-started), so I’m not sure that’s the solution you would want to go for.
