Delegate repeated programming work

Delegate routine coding work to a coding agent

Learn which programming tasks are suitable for reliable automation, how a coding agent works and where it can save useful time in everyday development.

A coding agent completes clearly described work inside your project

It can read files, find the relevant area, edit code, run checks and present the result. Small bug fixes, additional tests, documentation and repeated updates are strong first tasks. You describe the behavior you want and decide whether the finished change should be accepted.

Good first jobs for an agent

Good first jobs for an agent.

Fix a known bug

Provide the error and expected behavior; the agent finds the code, changes it and runs relevant tests.

Add missing tests

Ask for typical examples and useful error cases around an existing function.

Update repeated code

Replace an outdated call or configuration value throughout a project.

From a task to a useful proposed change

Set up the path once, then reuse it for similar work.

  1. Choose a repeated task

    Start with small repeated work that does not require an open product decision.

  2. Give it a goal and project

    Provide expected behavior, the application and a command that demonstrates the result.

  3. Let the agent do the work

    Let the agent find the files, make the change and run the available checks.

  4. Try the visible result

    Open the changed feature, try the user journey and accept only a result that works.

Decisions that remain yours

The agent prepares the work; you judge product impact and the final behavior.

  • Does the behavior match the original request?
  • Were only relevant files changed?
  • Do the interface, data and important edge cases still work?
  • Are new packages or permissions genuinely needed?

Computers for locally run coding agents

A local agent keeps the model, project index, editor and tests active together. More RAM or VRAM helps with large projects and concurrent jobs.
