I'm currently standing up a C++ capability in an org that hasn't historically had one, so things like the style guide and examples folder require a lot of care to give a good start for new contributors.

I have instructions for agents that are different in some details of convention, e.g. human contributors use AAA allocation style, agents are instructed to use type first. I convert code that "graduates" from agent product to review-ready as I review agent output, which keeps me honest that I don't myself submit code without scrutiny to the review of other humans: they are able to prompt an LLM without my involvement, and I'm able to ship LLM slop without making a demand on their time. Its an honor system, but a useful one if everyone acts in good faith.

I get use from the agents, but I almost always make changes and reconcile contradictions.
