I had this idea a couple of days ago: how about using agents to simulate software development methods (agile, waterfall, etc.)? Not by just giving them a prompt (e.g., "be the project manager, spawn 5 agents and simulate an agile team following these rule") but by actually having thsm work in isolated enviroments and force them through an external software to interact with eachother only using the tools and cerimonies and hierarcheis allowed by the SW development strategy (e.g., the project manager only knows what the agents have done in a certain "day" through the mostly oral daily stand up)

- skinfaxi 2mo agoCould you elaborate on how that looks in practice?
- jaggederest 2mo agoI have a docs system with short-to-moderate note documents, with a name, and that name is referenced wherever the relevant code is touched, and ask AI to cite a note when proposing work. Adversarial process, must cite notes to justify changes.
- skinfaxi 2mo agoHow do you enforce that gate?
