Description and use

<p>Between 27 September and 2 October I sent fixes, bug reports and comments to twelve open-source projects. A coding agent did much of the work: Claude Code reproduced the bugs, wrote the patches and tests, and drafted most of the texts. I chose each issue and read every text, and nothing went out from my account until I had approved it.</p> <p>Along the way the projects kept telling me how they want that kind of work done. spec-kit wanted the agent, the model, its settings and the extent of its help named <a href="https://github.com/github/spec-kit/blob/4a339209c877a1b68e7a790b2b2269a2b68e46
