Problem
Assisted coding can move from plan to code and spend before a human has approved the risky parts.
Governed coding-agent experience with approval workflows, live visibility, and an IDE-native interface.
Project information
- Category: AI Coding Agents · Developer Tooling · Human-in-the-Loop Systems
- Product focus: Planning, review, approvals, IDE integration
- Experience: Run visibility, developer guidance, change review
- Positioning: Portfolio case study of a governed coding workflow
Overview
This project explores what it takes to make coding agents usable in real software workflows, where review, control, and accountability matter as much as generation quality.
The product combines an orchestration layer with an IDE experience so developers can start work, inspect progress, and intervene at important checkpoints without leaving their normal environment.

Mechanism
Plan checkpoints, approval gates, spend logs, and IDE-native operator visibility slow only the steps that need authority.
What It Proves
Developer agents can stay useful while requiring human review at high-risk implementation and cost moments.
Engagement Relevance
Useful when teams want agent-assisted delivery without giving the agent silent permission to execute everything.
CTA
Use this pattern to evaluate human gates in an agent-builder workflow.
Request a fit callProject Goal
Build a coding-agent workflow that feels trustworthy enough for serious engineering work. The emphasis is on structured execution, human oversight, and clear visibility into what the system is proposing before changes are accepted.
Product Capabilities
- Guided execution: supports a workflow that moves from task intake to reviewable output instead of one-shot generation.
- Approval checkpoints: lets a developer review plans and proposed changes before accepting them.
- Live run visibility: keeps progress, status, and cost awareness legible during execution.
- IDE-native access: keeps the workflow close to daily engineering work rather than isolating it in a separate tool.
Human Oversight & Safety
A core design principle is collaboration rather than unattended autonomy. The product is meant to keep a developer in control while still making the agent genuinely useful.
- Review before acceptance: developers can inspect proposed work before it is finalized.
- Feedback loops: the system can revise its approach instead of failing silently when guidance changes.
- Governance by design: review surfaces make agent behavior easier to understand and control.
Developer Experience
- Editor-centered workflow: brings prompts, progress views, and change review close to the development environment.
- Contextual assistance: helps move from intent to reviewable output without losing track of the task.
- Continuity across stages: keeps planning, execution, and follow-up within one consistent product experience.
What I Built
I shaped this as a governed developer product rather than a standalone chatbot, focusing on the workflow between request, review, approval, and final output.
Why This Project Is Valuable
This project shows how coding agents become more practical when orchestration, approval, visibility, and developer experience are designed together instead of added as afterthoughts.
