This is it. I've had a similar experience in just playing around I asked it to clean up some code it wrote to increase maintainability and readability by humans. After a few iterations it had generated quite solid code. It also broke the code a couple of times along the way. But it does get me thinking that these pipelines with agents doing specific tasks makes a lot of sense. One to design and architect, one to implement, one to clean, one to review, one to test (actually there's probably a bunch of different agents for testing -- testing perf/power, that it matches the requirements/spec, matches the design, is readable/maintainable, etc...).

I built GuardRails after some frustrations with Beads which I love, and this whole exchange made me realize, because I have "gates" after tasks, I could add a "Review the code" type of gate, and probably get insanely better output, I already get reasonably good output because I spec out the requirements beforehand, that's the other thing, if you can tell the LLM HOW to build before it does, you will have better output.
