I'm Building Agents That Run While I Sleep I Have No Idea If What They Ship Is Any Good

A Claude Code workflow with an opslane/verify pipeline—including preflight checks, an Opus planner, Sonnet/Playwright browser agents and an Opus judge—that produce code, run per-acceptance-criterion tests and return pass/fail/needs-human-review verdicts, yielding 40-50 PRs/week versus ~10.

Agentic coding tools can perform routine refactors, lower prototyping cost to reduce technical debt and speed time-to-market, and improve through documented iterative prompts and operational practices that compound small quality gains.

A three-factor model identifies generative-model use cases depending on relative encoding cost, relative verification cost, and artifact-versus-process dependence. Models suit low-prompt, low-verification tasks but poorly fit complex, safety-critical work and can cause economic harm if misused.
