Four AI Agent Skills That Make Coding Workflows Sharper
Article summary
Quick briefing — cleaned from the original RSS feed
AI coding agents are often discussed as though they are a single tool: ask for code, receive code. In practice, useful agent work has stages. You need different behavior when the request is unclear, when a design has to survive scrutiny, when implementation is underway, and when work must move into a new session. Trying to solve all four stages with one large prompt usually produces a compromise. The agent may be verbose while you need execution, eager while you need questions, or unable to…
