I think this would benefit from examples of including coding assistants in the stages enumerated; how can the agent be included in each stage? I've seen posts about successful collaboration with agents at say Google, where there is tons of upfront work among humans to agree on design, then work with the agent to build out parts of the project and ensuring thorough test suites are included.
Does including an agent at each stage of this cycle mean "context engineering"? Is this then just more text and assets to feed in at each stage of LLM ussage to provide the context for the next set of tokens to generate for the next stage of the cycle? Is there something deeper that can be done to encode this level of staged development into the agent's weights/"understanding"? Is there an established process for this yet?
