3 guardrails before letting AI coding agents merge to production

The author outlines three guardrails for letting coding agents merge to production: (1) score every issue before an agent touches it — low-confidence work stays with humans (via SuperPlane); (2) run real checks first — build, tests and lint execute before any model opinion, and the agent only gets a short error excerpt, not the full log; (3) cap the loop — after 5 failed verify attempts the agent stops, leaves a PR note and hands off to a person. Result: a review-ready PR with full history. Honest caveat: guardrails are only as strong as your tests; weak CI means weak guardrails. SuperPlane 1.0 is open source and live.
