Programming & AI Tips 💡
Make coding agents earn the green check 💡
Do not end an agent task with "implement this." End it with a command that can fail.
For a .NET repo, that might be dotnet test, a focused test project, a formatter check, or a small reproduction script. Tell the agent which command to run, what output to inspect, and what it should do if the command fails.
A good task contract has three parts:
• Change: the files or behavior to update.
• Proof: the exact command or test case.
• Stop condition: what needs human review instead of another retry.
This also makes PR review faster. You get a diff plus evidence, not a confident paragraph saying the fix should work.
