- Specs first
- People write the acceptance criteria, those become automated tests, and only then do agents write code.
- Hidden scenarios
- Scenarios of real usage are kept apart from the code, so we can check that agents built code that actually works, not code that merely fits the tests.
- Automated checks, human judgment
- Tests, static analysis, security checks and review agents filter first; the responsible engineer approves the release.
- Only what’s permitted
- Agents run in isolated containers and touch only the data and tools the customer allows.
- Every run on record
- Which spec, which agent, what changed: it’s all kept, ready for an audit and for a rollback at any time.
