My latest experiement with coding agents did not go completely as I had hoped.
Coding Agents Made Me the Bottleneck
Chased the dream of coding agents working more independently from specs, and I failed. I did not get there on my latest side project - not even close. These are my thoughts on what happened:

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me

for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

Demos are easy - but what happen when you work with a sensitive or dynamic knowledge base. I built a small python package, to generate synthetic documents for you to test on

I keep seeing “agent skills” turn into “just let it run commands.” That feels fine in a repo, but pretty scary the moment it touches real accounts and money. I wrote down what I think we should do instead. substack.com/home/post/p-...
Agent Skills Beyond Bash (Agents for non-developers)
Skills is a great addition to Agents - but we are still missing some pieces.

When building largescale RAG solutions for case handling (eg. with up to 1-2k a4 pages pr. case). How do you handle proper test and validation data? Especially when the cases are sensitive? Any synthetic document generation approaches?

Just implement a simple agent skill to steal skills from github repos: github.com/soetang/codi... - let me know if you have problems. Idea is: not all skill are on marketplaces etc. with this tool you can copy skills from any github repo. And feel to steal any of my skills, commands or agents.

Hey - I am changing to a more structured approach to coding agents. And wrote a bit about it here. It is still new - but maybe you got suggestions for skills etc. that i should implement!
Exploring Structured Approaches to Coding Agents
Starting my new agentic coding setup, establishing a learning loop and putting it on Github.
