Context, plan, act, verify
- Vibe coding means accepting whatever the model writes. Agentic engineering means you run a loop and stay in control of it.
- Context. Say the goal, point at the files, state the limits.
- Plan. For anything non-trivial, get a plan before any edits.
- Act, then verify. Let the agent change code in small steps, then run the tests and read the diff yourself.
- Checkpoint. Commit each verified step, so a bad next step is easy to undo.
