How I Accidentally Solved Intent Debt

说明与用途

作者说明了 Agent‑Workflow 如何在代码生成过程中捕获代理意图，减少意图债务并提高变更可追溯性。

问题

Agents can make decisions during code generation, erasing the rationale behind changes and creating intent debt.

结果

The Work Record preserves intent, enabling better tracking of agent decisions and reducing intent debt, though enforcement of protected intent is still needed.

工作流

• Define task and expected outcome
• Agent writes code while following checkpoints
• Agent records constraints, discoveries, and deviations
• Work Record is stored in the repo
• CI verifies structural parts of the workflow
• Human reviews PR and approves changes
• Enforcement layer added to protect critical intent

证据

The Work Record it produces preserves this change-level intent that would otherwise disappear with the agent session

Capturing intent is not enough. The Work Record did its thing - intent was not lost, and we could track what happened and why.
