Coding Agent Searches Codebase and Drafts Docs
dkundel · x · 2026-07-11
This reply details the actual workflow of a coding agent: it can spin up a worktree from the main thread, search the codebase and Slack to gather context around a specific feature, and directly generate documentation drafts.
The original author provides a further example: when handed a blog draft the night before release, the agent was able to reconstruct an interactive version of the Visualize document based on an embedded demo video, including the UI and logic. The author asks the community what other "mind-blowing" things they've seen it do.
