Still though, that cycle can be iterated many times in a single day. Write a spec, let the agent build it, use the software, evaluate results, repeat.

Yes, that's agile software development.
No, not quite. The specifications we use for agents make any ticket written before them pale in comparison. That enables a hybrid workflow that is both spec-driven and "agile", in the sense that you're doing very rapid development cycles.
Until the agents start touching things that already worked well before and break them.
They do need a competent developer operating them. That has nothing to do with whether nor not specs have value.
