DESIGNING AGENTIC LOOPS

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Agents can now directly exercise the code they are writing, correct errors, dig through existing implementation details, and even run experiments to find effective code solutions to problems. Coding agents are brute force tools for finding solutions to coding problems. Reducing problems to clear goals and sets of tools that can iterate towards those goals can help coding agents brute-force their way to an effective solution. The art of using agents well is to carefully design the tools and loops for them to use.
