You can't, "agents" and "agentic coding" are incompatible with the deep understanding of your code that getting into the flow state requires. By definition, prompting a tool to do your job for you means giving up the depth of control that comes with actually writing the code.

Some people can work like that, some very few people may even produce acceptable results like that. I cannot and I am not interested in doing so.

The closest you can get to agentic coding while still actually being in the control loop is something like intellisense - where it just fills out the implementation of small chunks of code, one block at a time and only when you specifically request it.
