Judge your AI agent's work by using it, not by reading the code
Try every change yourself before your agent saves it, and leave the rest to automatic checks. A report says what was written, and only using the thing shows what it does.
lesson
Stop your AI agent from forgetting your project between sessions
Put the project's memory in a few plain text files inside it, each with one job, and the agent reads each one at the moment it's needed.
lesson
Watch a check fail once before you trust it to pass
Plant the mistake a check exists to catch, run it and see it go red, then put things back. A search for something that should be absent gets a known hit run beside it, so an empty result can't pass for a clean one.
lessonEvery spell is an agent you can install. Take one and run it in your own setup.
Each one is a folder of instructions a coding agent reads. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to install beyond a file.

spellWatch a check fail once before you trust it to pass
