If a coding agent has fixed the same area 3+ times and review still finds problems, the architecture is wrong, not the code. Stop patching and redesign. I call this agent/review whack-a-mole: every fix you make pops up a new problem somewhere else.

It's crazy to expect agents to get it right the first time without any grilling beforehand or adversarial code reviews afterward. Review is also where you enforce your standards. With fresh eyes/context, not in the dumb zone.

Agent memory is such a bad idea. Way too magic/opaque/unsharable. Embrace AGENTS.md and docs/adr for working instructions and design decisions. Disable and reset agent memory in Claude Code and Codex.

One of my most useful skills is /squash-commits. It does what you'd expect, but also proposes different commit groupings and is hunk-aware (splitting commits when it makes sense). I use it all the time to clean up branches and PRs. 💪
