Chain-of-Vibes by Pete Hodgson sums up nicely the approach I take to leverage the power of agentic AI workflows while sidestepping the limitations. Treat the tools “like weirdly knowledgeable, hyper-productive junior engineers”, give enough context but otherwise limit their output. Importantly, review the outcome of each small task and make a decision:

A) Accept and commit
B) Prompt to adjust
C) Manually fix up
D) Revert and re-prompt

The last item is an important one that’s often overlooked - throwing away the result and fixing your prompt is often more time efficient, especially when learning how to prompt.
