alt Hacker NewsI’ve come to the realization that these kind of systems don’t work, and that a human in the loop is crucial for task planning; the LLM’s role being to identify issues, communicate the design / architecture, etc before it’s handed off, otherwise the LLM always ends up doing not entirely the correct thing.
How is this part tackled when all that you have is GH issues? Doesn’t this work only for the most trivial issues?
Had the same realization which inspired eforge (shameless plug) https://github.com/eforge-build/eforge - planning stays in the developer’s control with all engineering (agent orchestration) handed off to eforge. This has been working well for a solo or siloed developer (me) that is free to plan independently. Allows the developer to confidently stay in the planning plane while eforge handles the rest using a methodology that in my experience works well. Of course, garbage in garbage out - thorough human planning (AI assisted, not autonomous) is key.
