I don't trust agents writing specs without human approval.
I've been bitten by agent-written ADRs. Agents carelessly add extrapolated details and speculated nice-to-haves that I never asked for, and this becomes a source of bloat that keeps coming back like a boomerang.
I’ve found that Agents cannot differentiate between a general principle or abstraction to be followed vs a one-off code review comment that’s applicable only to a single PR.
Lack of this capability makes automated principles or patterns update a recipe for more bloat.
Perhaps this is precisely the type of work product that humans should produce instead of LLMs. Humans are the ones making these decisions, after all.
Of course I meant you review the docs the agent writes (as well as everything else the agent writes)
