In my experience everything that affects engineers affects an agent. Good abstractions, reasonably sized methods, good names, principled (intra & inter) service architecture, unit tests, etc.

All of these things have historically been the job of engineers, because it helps other people contribute to the code.

Now it helps other people and other agents contribute to the code.
