Agent coding tips: run /simplify, then fresh-context review of the diff
lucasmeijer · x · 2026-08-18
Developer Lucas Meijer shares manual habits worth automating in agent coding flows:
- After an implementation task finishes, run /simplify to clean up the code
- Then run a fresh-context review prompt against the original request and the diff, providing the original thread with its findings
His takeaway: these very simple steps give much better results, but he still does them by hand and wants to automate more of the flow.
