I'm extremely doubtful of this. It doesn't save time to tell it "you have an error on line 19", because that's (often) just as much work as fixing the error. Likewise, saying "be careful and don't make mistakes" is not going to achieve anything. So how can you possibly tweak the agent to "do it right" reliably without human intervention? That's not even a solved problem for working with _humans_ who don't have the context window limitations, let alone an LLM that deletes everything past 30k tokens.

- Erem 7mo agoNot GP, but I would love pointers on precisely this problem
- tossandthrow 7mo agoIt is about tweaking inline documentation to make sure that 1. It is not ambiguous 2. It is as complete as possible. I am surprised that I got down voted for proposing the improve a code base such that agents can run on it as a means to increased productivity.
