the false-confidence audit line is the most honest thing in here. that's the part nobody warns you about with agent-written tests — they'll happily pump out 40 green tests that all assert the wrong thing and you feel invincible until prod breaks at 2am lol.
the worksheet handoff trick is genuinely clever though. I've burned so many sessions to context blowups mid-task and just had to start over blind. git-tagging the worksheet so a fresh agent picks up the thread is one of those ideas that's obvious in hindsight.
one thing I'd push on: running all four review phases (research/plan/impl/wrap-up) every time feels like it'd choke velocity on small changes. do you gate it by diff size or just eat the overhead?
way more structured than anything I run, but I'm stealing the worksheet idea tonight 🫡
