We're a classic XP shop. To build new features in our brown-field app, we defined about 8 sub-agents such as "red-test-writer", "minimal-green-implementer" and "refactorer".
Now all I do in Claude Code is: "Build this feature X using our TDD process and the agents." 30 minutes later the feature is complete, looks better and works better than what I would have built in 30 minutes, is 90% tested and is ready for acceptance testing.
Granted it took us years of working XP, pairing, TDD etc. but I keep feeling confused about posts like this.
We've been shipping production-grade code written 95% by AI for over a year now. Non-trivial, complex features.
There is no secret sauce even, in how we do this. It works. Really, really well for us.
