Maintainability sensors for coding agents
In her recent article about harness engineering for coding agent users,
Birgitta Böckeler laid out a mental model for expanding a
coding agent harness: a system of guides and sensors that increase the
probability of good agent outputs and enable self-correction before issues
reach human eyes. Birgitta has now started publishing an article where she
walks though her experiences using sensors to keep a codebase
maintainable. This part looks at static analysis with basic code linting.
