Why agent costs grow faster than the work, a real example where one habit would have saved about 40%, and ten habits for any engineer.

By enclosing agents in deterministic steering files and multi-tiered verification layers—ranging from ephemeral sandboxes and typed schemas to AST AppSec scanning and critic-agent reviews—organizations can automate routine validation and elevate human engineers to high-level system architecture and governance.
