I see a lot of people struggling to work with agents. This post has a good example:

> “you can’t be serious — is this how you fix things? just WORKAROUNDS????”

If this is how you’re interacting with your agents I think you’re in for a world of disappointment. An important part of working with agents is providing specific feedback. And beyond that making sure this feedback actually available to them in their context when relevant.

I will ask them why they made a decision and review alternatives with them. These learnings will aid both you and the agent in the future.

After you see it skip reasoning so many times and saying "actually the simplest fix is" the laziest thing ever you get kind of tired of babysitting it.

Even their explanations are often confabulations. Best case they point to something wrong in your prompt or agents files, but usually it’s just noise.
