Move rules from prose to deterministic constraints: poteto's token-saving agent vision
poteto · x · 2026-10-14
Developer poteto argues frontier agents still lack judgment, so teams should migrate prose-style conventions (comments, rules, skills) into hard deterministic constraints: better API design, stronger types, and lint rules. This is both enforceable and far more token-efficient — and since agents can refactor code easily, there's no excuse for living in filth.
