Love this idea applied to code. Taking your agent's first draft & using it as a sample for a reimplementation can sometimes help achieve an even cleaner version.
Plus you can use the first draft's weaknesses as signal. Where do you need to shore up the architecture or create more obvious reusability, where is the documentation inadequate.
