Agent Native Development

Agent-Native Development is a structured approach to building software using autonomous agents, which allows developers to increase coding output and address common failure patterns through disciplined planning and verification procedures. This method involves agents running a full inner loop that includes gathering context, planning, implementing, running validation, and submitting a reviewable change, while leaving a clear trace of reasoning and decisions. Developers remain responsible for making architectural decisions, setting guardrails, and intervening when necessary. Key principles of this approach include making precise requests, keeping tasks small, and creating environments suited for automatic verification. Practical workflows like Explore → Plan → Code → Verify are recommended, as well as maintaining an AGENTS.md file for clarity on project organization, core commands, and evidence required for pull requests. By adopting this discipline, teams can benefit from clearer communication, better documentation, and more consistent outcomes, while allowing agents to handle repetitive tasks and enabling human developers to focus more on design and architecture.
