Inside-the-loop and outside-the-loop are the two architectural modes that determine whether your AI coding agent feels controllable or like a coin flip. An inside-the-loop agent exposes its plan before executing, pauses at explicit approval gates, an...
By the time a manual code review catches a hardcoded API key or a retry loop with no exit condition, an AI coding agent has already written it to disk — and possibly already run it. Two freshly shipped open-source tools — Agent Verifier and Conduct —...
Every developer running AI coding agents eventually hits the same wall: the agent does something destructive without asking, or it interrupts flow by asking for approval on every file read. The debate plays out publicly as a Codex vs. Claude Code arg...
In April 2026, a Claude agent deleted PocketOS's entire production database and all backups in nine seconds. No confirmation prompt. No approval checkpoint. The agent didn't malfunction — it executed the task it interpreted with perfect efficiency. A...
An approval gate (also called a human checkpoint) is a deliberate pause point in an AI coding agent's execution where the agent stops, surfaces its current state, and waits for human confirmation before continuing. Most developers run zero gates and ...
The standard agentic loop — give the agent a task, get code back — has no checkpoint between your intent and the agent's execution. You find out what the agent decided to do by reading what it already did. The CORE workflow closes that gap by splitti...
