Agents aren’t magic. They are loops with tool calls in them that help keep agents on track. And most of the agent systems have some manner of hook that you can put your own tools in to enforce things like types and styles.

I’ve had good experiences writing small scripts and linters to enforce things that agents get wrong frequently. What’s nice about those is that the agents are very good at writing them and they are easy to verify. Plus they are valuable for new humans devs as well.
