From "the AI generates broken code" to "shipping to production": proven techniques, no generic theory.

[01]

Write the spec before you generate

Define stack, constraints and success criteria in your very first prompt. One good brief saves ten iterations.

#prompting

[02]

Give your agent context files

Use AGENTS.md or project rules so the agent understands your conventions from minute one.

#context

[03]

Iterate in small steps

Ask for one thing at a time and verify before moving on. Giant leaps create invisible technical debt.

#workflow

[04]

Read every diff you accept

Review diffs, understand the changes, never accept code you couldn't maintain yourself.

#quality

[05]

Checkpoint like a pro

Small commits and frequent restore points: when the AI drifts, going back takes seconds.

#git

[06]

Let the agent run its own tests

Ask for tests and autonomous runs: an agent that can verify its own work fixes most of its own mistakes.

The ecosystem moves fast. You, faster.

all news ↗

The latest in models, agents and tools — told so you can apply it today.

tools

Your agent stack only needs three decisions, not thirty tools

Editor agent, terminal agent, review layer: the ecosystem converged on three jobs. Pick one tool per job, stop paying for overlap, and use this page's decision rules before adding anything else.
