Why linting alone can’t govern agentic development

TL;DR

AI agents are transforming software development by enabling rapid implementation and exploration of ideas. However, relying solely on linting is insufficient for ensuring the reliability and security of complex code changes.

Key Takeaways

• Integrate behavioral checks into the development process.
• Use linting for immediate feedback on code changes.
• Implement security assessments for new dependencies.
• Maintain a clear architecture to support agent productivity.
