I was talking to an engineer the other day about this question: How do you make a codebase easy-to-navigate by both agents and humans, when everything from the hello world is agent-built? The answer is system architecture. Agents (like humans) copy bad patterns like a virus. It's a ball of clay that needs constant reshaping. You can write down best practices into your factory's skills, yes, but keeping the codebase itself on the right path is the real goal. It's too expensive to have an agent review the universe constantly, spitting out architecture change PRs no one wants to look at. But, say, a weekly automation with a frontier reasoning model (Fable 5.2 is a good one to try) that pulls out one improvement to your system architecture is a start. I like @steveruizok's prompt to "look for implicit state machines." Will experiment with a factory automation like this and see how it goes.
