Ask Your AI Agent for a Markdown Checklist, Not Just a Plan
JnBrymn · x · 2026-08-12
A developer shared a practical workflow tip for AI coding agents: before letting an agent tackle a large refactor, prompt it to generate a Markdown checklist of everything it intends to do. This allows developers to quickly validate the agent's understanding beforehand and serves as a progress tracker during execution, making it much easier to spot gaps and ask targeted questions.
