> the llms write pretty good zig

I doubt this from my personal experience. Every week after a release, I see tweets complaining how AI wrote some depreciated code because Zig is making breaking changes every release. (They are valid in doing so, it's just not AI friendly yet)

claude and codex are pretty quick to figure out "oh that's not a thing anymore" and figure out what they need to do?

i did a 0.15 -> 0.16 port of this library and most of it the LLM did

I agree, when agents realize they're using old Zig semantics, they will adapt.

Doesn't help the training sets that Zig changes frequently though.

nah. zig doesn't have weird macros/dsls and most zig authors are reasonably good about sticking to conventions. easiest thing to do is to put a "reminder here is changelog" in the agents file
