The free guide, Why context engineering isn't enough: 5 failure modes of coding agents and how to build the harness that stops them.

Free guide · 5 failure modes

The 5 ways coding agents go off the rails.

Read the guide
  1. 1 · Green CI, broken prodGreen in CI, broken in production.
  2. 2 · Comprehension debtNobody understands the system anymore.
  3. 3 · Destructive agentsAgents delete what nobody asked them to.
  4. 4 · Hijacked agentsWhat your agent can reach, an attacker can too.
  5. 5 · Review overloadReview is drowning your best engineers.

Start this week

Three fixes you can make this week.

  • Fix 1 · Review overload

    Run an agent review loop on every PR

    An agent reviews the PR again and again until a pass finds nothing new, before a person opens it.

  • Fix 2 · Destructive agents

    Force the sandbox on for everyone

    Set it as admin policy in Claude Code or Codex, so nobody can switch it off. Repo files are only defaults.

  • Fix 3 · Hijacked agents

    Make new packages wait a week

    A 7-day cooldown in pnpm or npm: a new release, hijacked or not, waits before anything installs it.

The copy-paste config for all three is in the guide, slide 16. Nothing to buy, nothing to host.

Why listen to me

I've run AI at company scale, and I ship with coding agents.

Renato Budinich

I'm Renato. Most recently I was Data & AI Architect at IOG, where I owned the architecture of the company's data platform and built the safety into it: data contracts, SLAs and alerts that reach the data owner, and a layer that lets AI agents query it with each user's own permissions.

Before IOG I was lead data engineer at SingularityDAO and ran data consulting projects at Fraunhofer IIS, after a PhD in mathematics. Today I build the harness around your codebase and your team: shared workflows, architecture specs and automated CI checks.

2,800+ commits across 32 projects this year, built the same way I'd build yours.

Free 20-minute call · with Renato

Your first fix, in writing.

Tell me how your team ships agent-written code. Within two business days you get one written page.

Not for you if your team is still choosing a coding agent or running a pilot: this is for teams already shipping with one.
