This article is sensible but I'd argue it states the obvious.

The back pressure I need cannot come from automated testing or access to an LSP.

The back pressure I need comes from following rules it has been given, or listening to architectural or business logic feedback.

On that, I still cannot make it work like I want. Going to provide a simple example with Claude Codes.

I have a frontend agent instructed to not use any class or style ever, only the design system components and primitives.

Not only it will ignore those very quickly, but when it proposes edits and I give feedback the agent ignores them completely and instead it keeps suggesting more edits.

Thus I had to revert to deleting the agent completely and rely on the main thread for doing that work.

Same applies with any other agent.
