Comment on Ask HN: How do you go from writing code to deploying with agents?parent

Comments

Yeah, that only works if they follow the plan (they don't), actually write the tests first (they don't) and don't silently defer anything which doesn't have a test written as "speculative without a use case".

Or just write tests to match the buggy code after you call them out for not writing tests.

I mean, the struggle is real...

No matter how weasel-proof you make the plans they are much better weasels and just do as little as possible and "the test not written is the test which never fails." There's a certain amount of zen to them.

You write skills, prompts, and hooks to make them obey. They will obey.
