reviewing code as it's being written & re-steering it > reviewing it once 20k lines have been written

this is exactly right

why?

leaving the codebase cleaner than you found it IS creating maximum value to the company because large changes are almost never walking on the knife's edge between "making the codeb…

every PR should leave the codebase cleaner than it found it

This is an excellent point - LLMs are autoregressive next-token predictors, and output token quality is a function of input token quality Consider that if the only code you get out…

Same!

If you find it works for you, then that’s great! This post is mostly from our learnings from getting it to solve hard problems in complex brownfield codebases where auto generation…

I looked when I wrote the post but the paper hasn’t been revisited with newer models :/

It might support AGENTS.md, you could check the site and see if it’s there

Yep it is opinionated for how to get coding agents to solve hard problems in complex brownfield codebases which is what we are focused on at humanlayer :)

I think you’re missing that CLAUDE.md is deterministically injected into the model’s context window This means that instead of behaving like a file the LLM reads, it effectively le…

I imagine it’s highly-correlated to parameter count, but the research is a few months old and frontier model architecture is pretty opaque so hard to draw too too many conclusions …

Hi, post author here :) Yes README.md should still be written for humans and isn’t going away anytime soon. CLAUDE.md is a convention used by claude code, and AGENTS.md is used by …

Hi, post author here We used cloudflare’s AI gateway which is pretty simple. Set one up, get the proxy URL and set it through the env var, very plug-and-play

Hi, post author here :) I didn’t dive into that because in a lot of cases it’s not necessary and I wanted to keep the post short, but for large monorepos it’s a good idea

tbh I think the thing that's making this new approach so hard to adopt for many people is the word "vibecoding" Like yes vibecoding in the lovable-esque "give me an app that does X…

In many cases (though not all) it's the same thing that makes for great engineering managers: smart generalists with a lot of depth in maybe a couple of things (so they have an app…

Among other things; coding agents that can get feedback by running a compile step on top of the linter will tend to produce better output. Also, strongly-typed languages tend to ca…

if nuclear power is so much better than coal, why do we need to learn how to safely operate a reactor just to make it work? Coal is so much easier
