Without the dual review loop, the agent tends to write tests that look correct but do not actually exercise real behavior. +## Code review: human spot-check at the end + +On top of the agent's self-reflection and the two sub-agent reviews per task, I reviewed the produced outcome at the end. I did not read through all 5k lines one by one. Instead I looked for repeating patterns across the test files and cherry-picked a few scenarios — for example one integration test from the open/close family, one from the rename/link family, and one negative test — and went through those in detail manually. That was enough to satisfy me that the workflow had produced consistent, runnable tests and that the whole pipeline (task → implement → self-review → sub-agent review → fix → second review → commit) was working as intended. + ## Measurable results Here is what one day of autonomous Ampcode work produced: @@ -422,7 +427,7 @@ Here is what one day of autonomous Ampcode work produced: * 48 Taskwarrior tasks completed * 47 git commits * 87 files changed -* 12,012 lines added, 1,543 removed +* ~5,000 lines added, ~500 removed * 18 integration test files * 15 workload scenario files (one per syscall category) * 93 test scenarios total (happy-path and negative) |
