AI coding agents need better workflows, not just smarter models

The author discusses challenges in managing the output of AI coding agents, noting that while model intelligence has improved, the workflow for handling generated documents, feedback, and continuity between sessions remains problematic. Solutions proposed include publishing documents with persistent links, storing feedback in dedicated files for agents to read, and maintaining a brief document outlining the project's status and decisions for subsequent agents. A tool called `agent-artifacts` is introduced to automate these practices across different coding agents. AI

IMPACT Highlights the need for better tooling and workflow management to effectively integrate AI-generated content into development processes.
