If you wanted to drive a workflow like this yourself, the moves are:
keep everything green"), and let the agent plan the steps. You review the plan and the result, not every line as it's typed.
- State the goal, not the keystrokes. Describe the outcome ("add this endpoint and
schema change goes to backend-dev; broken services go to tilt-ops. You don't need one agent to be good at everything — you need the right agent on each piece.
- Let it pick the right specialist. A frontend change goes to
frontend-dev; a
quality-gate + code-reviewer per domain, then visual-qa and regression-tester if UI or API changed, then an aggregated verdict. Don't accept "looks done" without the passing report.
- Insist on the lifecycle. After the change, the pipeline runs: parallel
the three agents together. Only sequence true dependencies.
- Parallelize independent work. If three things don't depend on each other, launch
resources, read the logs on failure, fix, and retry. Treat a green resource — not an AI sentence — as proof.
- Verify through real tooling, every time. Run the checks via the shared Tilt
the trigger on anything irreversible (deploys, email, credentials, DNS, billing).
- Keep the human gates. Review the architecture, approve the direction, and hold
— write it down so the next session inherits it.
- Maintain the memory. When you learn something — a footgun, a decision, a deferral
The mental model: you are the architect and the approver; the agents are a fast, tireless implementation-and-verification team that you point at well-scoped work and then check with real tooling.
