yeah I 100% agree - and I think the most popular coding agent workflows / skill kits are designed to pull those insights and intuition out of humans in a way that optimizes for the developer's experience building the plans or building the code, e.g.
- claude code plan mode - mattpocock/skills - obra/superpowers - research/plan/implement
etc etc
Hard to see them though if you’re not in the weeds and your agents are stacking abstraction on abstraction to pass tests.
yes exactly
