I think the best approach is active code review as the agent does small batches. Or letting it come up with a solution, testing if it passes or fails the desired outcome, then creating a separate fresh project and asking it to rewrite in small parts, and have it explain to you what and why it's doing to achieve each part.

Yeah my main current work repo I have five clones of it (de1.main, de2.main etc) each with an agent in a tmux session. The main priority change I will have up in my emacs gui with editing the files and reading and so on, but the side ideas that used to just get a line in the ideas or todo section of daily.org now sometimes get a claude working on it. As POC at the least.
