Personally, I’ve found agents to be a great “multitasking” tool.
Let’s say I make a few changes in the code that will require changes or additions to tests. I give the agent the test command I want it to run and the files to read, and let it cycle between running tests and modifying files.
While it’s doing that, I open Slack or do whatever else I need to do.
After a few minutes, I come back, review the agent’s changes, fix anything that needs to be fixed or give it further instructions, and move to the next thing.
