So the solution to using AI so you don't have to code, is to try to write some kind of pseudocode in AGENT.md and hope the AI does a bit better?

Why does it seem that the solution to no-code (which AI-coding agents are) always comes back to "no-code, but actually there is some code behind the scenes, but if you squint enough it looks like no-code".

Umm, no. Where did you get that idea?

The purpose of the agent.md file is to give it instructions. Nothing about no-code AI said there would be no instructions...

I'm old enough to remember when computer code was called "instructions".

Eg, the 6502 instruction set. https://www.masswerk.at/6502/6502_instruction_set.html

They are still called instruction sets.

The only similarity is the word
