What you'll learn
Why does your coding agent decide it's "done"?
You'll understand the mechanics of what makes a coding agent stop, and why native confident "done" is a guess it makes
How often do you reply "did you miss anything?
You'll stop interrogating your agent and learn to build a check that runs the real test so it only ever stops on a pass.
What if "done" had to be earned by your agent?
Leave with a tiny harness to wrap Claude Code and Codex that keeps tool calls going until your done criteria passes
Why this topic matters
You already know defining "done" is product's oldest hard problem, the place rework hides. Now your agent calls half-built work "done" with total confidence, and as more agents run longer you can't read every line. Come build a check that makes "done" something a machine verifies, so you stop babysitting and start supervising. That's the shift at the heart of Hardcore Agentic Engineering.
