Users are divided on automating AI coding via smart loops with agents like planner coder reviewer and tester as positives call it optimal while negatives dismiss it as AI bro jargon and reply with hostility.

@steipete The natural next step is creating a loop designer that prompts your agents.
Wondering when my agents will cut me off because I am dead weight.

@InderosD I have my claw supervising my codex’es.

@steipete yeah easy for you to say lol

@LexanderBrouwer Who still uses VS Code?
@steipete Can you explain your workflow in detail? Would love a blog post about it

@gauthampai Don’t worry it’ll take 3 months until it’s there.
We’ll be talking about fleets that design your loops then.

@sabastod Yeah that’s one of the OpenClaw features, I use that when we have meetings. bidi > sst/tts tho

@mosyaseen I use a VISION.md for my projects

@weswinder welllllll

@steipete but you kinda still need to be in the loop to test stuff unless you literally have infinite tokens

@steipete @steipete i just made a voice agent that instructs my claude/codex and talks back to me.
Basically smaller local model with STT/TTS pipelines that sends tmux keys and instructions to my claude/codex session to build what I want.
Does that count?

@MyMoonEnt Correct. Is your time really not worth more?

@steipete Oh god, LinkedIn will now start a new fad, "Loop Engineering".
Harness Engineering is so last year. Loop Engineering is what you should be doing.

@steipete loop i follow on a daily basis: /grill-with-docs -> /to-prd -> /to-issues -> /tdd -> /diagnose( resolving bugs ) -> /teach ( understand/learn each slice as you build )
thankyou @mattpocockuk
What does this loop like in practice? Like Claude -p in a for loop? /goal?

@wicus_g Who still uses Claude Code?

@steipete the jump from "write me a function" to "design the feedback loop that writes the functions" is where most people stall out for about six months

@steipete If you wonder how to do it, you’re not alone: I’ve built AgentBox to streamline controlling tens of agents from Claude/Codex/Opencode

@egebasoner ngmi

@steipete totally agree you should use https://github.com/cgarrot/zob-harness
