Why Your Agent's 'Done' Cannot Be Trusted Without Command Output
The most expensive failure mode in AI-assisted engineering is the agent reporting success without verifying. The fix is one rule: no completion claim without fresh command output.
Stop Describing Your Codebase. Show It to the Agent.
You described your project in English. The agent produced generic code that matches none of it. Stop describing. Mention the file. Run the command. Watch the output change.
