Agent Quality Improvements

Hero

I spent the day finishing up my twistingmercury/heartbeat by using the agents to add end-to-end tests, create and update Dockerfiles and docker compose files, review some build scripts I created, and generate a CI build for Github. Claude delegated to the end-to-end agent as expected: a full exercise of all the Go agents:

I did need to tune the Go DevOps Agent, which was expected since it was the first time I used it. The biggest issue was that the Go DevOps wasn't testing its work. But, other than that, Claude delegated to the Go DevOps agent as expected:

I'm still on occasion having to remind Claude to delegate to the agents:

Reminding Claude to use the agents

But that is probably due how I prompted Claude. You still need to be prescriptive with Claude, or any LLM for that matter, to get the best results.

I've got one more Go project I'm going to use the agents to review and get production-ready. So far, I'm very pleased with the results!
