Agentic engineering cockpit

A principal-engineer walkthrough of using terminal panes, memory files, skills, voice input, planning artifacts, validation, and parallel worktrees as one operating system for coding agents. Why it matters: The practical lesson is that agent productivity comes from the surrounding workflow, not only from the model: persistent context, bounded scopes, verification, and clear human command intent make agent work safer and repeatable.

Try this: Create one repo-level agent brief with allowed scope, required validation commands, handoff format, and what the agent must never do without approval.
