If agents can already read and rewrite code, literate programming might actually be unnecessary. Instead of maintaining prose alongside code, you could let agents generate explanations on demand. The real requirement becomes writing code in a form that is easily interpretable and transformable by the next agent in the chain. In that model, code itself becomes the stable interface, while prose is just an ephemeral view generated whenever a human (or another agent) needs it.
