alt Hacker NewsThere’s an extension to this problem which I haven’t got past. More generally I’d like the agent to stop and ask questions when it encounters ambiguity that it can’t reasonably resolve itself. If someone can get agents doing this well it’d be a massive improvement (and also solve the above).

In planning I sometimes add ”ask me questions as we go to iron out details and ambiguities.” Works quite well.

what gung-ho, talented-but-naive junior developer has ever done that?
Hm, with my "plan everything before writing code, plus review at the end" workflow, this hasn't been a problem. A few times when a reviewer has surfaced a concern, the agent asks me, but in 99% of cases, all ambiguity is resolved explicitly up front.
