Agentic Coding Feedback Loops.

How to wire feedback at every stage of the workflow, so coding agents verify their own work instead of guessing.

PRINCIPLE.01why feedback loops matter

Let the agent check its own work.

If the agent can't verify, it guesses.

Feedback Loops
across the entire workflow

The agent runs a tool, observes the result, and reasons about what to do next at every stage of the workflow.

Plan

Define the task, constraints, and success criteria.

  • Ambiguous requirements
  • Missing constraints
  • Wrong abstraction
  • Unclear acceptance

the loop compounds

Every signal makes the next loop tighter.
