His team makes coding agents check their own work before a human sees it

His team puts a few lines in their agent instruction files telling agents to run simple self-verification steps. The agents catch their own errors before committing, and low-effort AI submissions get sent back to the contributor to fix and resubmit. He says it filters out most submissions nobody bothered to look at.

How it works

  1. Team adds self-verification steps to the agent instruction files
  2. Agents check their own work before committing
  3. Weak submissions are returned to the contributor

Why it’s worth knowing

A couple of lines in an instruction file became a quality gate that bounces careless submissions before any human looks.
