QUOTE

  1. Start with a clear, measurable goal. “Make the tests pass” is better than “improve the code.”
  2. Review the changes. The agent writes a lot of code. Read it. You’ll catch issues and learn things.
  3. Push back. If something feels wrong, say so. “I don’t like that” is a valid response.
  4. Use version control. If the agent goes in the wrong direction, you can always revert.
  5. Let it fail. Running a command that fails teaches the agent something. Don’t try to prevent all errors upfront.
