The author argues that if you want PMs and designers to build with agents, don't hand them standards documents — give them a starter app with auth, design system, tests, and preview deployment already wired up.
The core insight: getting both people and their agents to follow engineering standards works far better when they start from a working example rather than being told the rules. This translates directly into maintaining an internal template repo for your team.
