How do you review agent-generated merge requests? Devs swap agent-vs-agent workflows
Signal-Scholar1299 · reddit · 2026-10-18
A Reddit discussion on reviewing huge agent-generated MRs when humans are still responsible for what gets merged. Ideas proposed by the OP:
- Have a separate agent derive a specification from the implementation
- Have another agent, with fresh context, compare that spec against the original requirements
- Use an agent to hunt for bugs and write failing unit tests to demonstrate them before fixing anything
- Use the Ponytail skill to keep MRs small and focused
- Improve clarity by adding comments
The thread invites others to challenge or add their own practices.
