Tips that actually work
level:
topic:
Give your agent context files
Use AGENTS.md or project rules so the agent understands your conventions from minute one.
#contextIterate in small steps
Ask for one thing at a time and verify before moving on. Giant leaps create invisible technical debt.
#workflowRead every diff you accept
Review diffs, understand the changes, never accept code you couldn't maintain yourself.
#qualityCheckpoint like a pro
Small commits and frequent restore points: when the AI drifts, going back takes seconds.
#gitLet 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.
