Nick Tune, Senior Staff Software Engineer at PayFit, shares his advanced agentic coding workflow built around deterministic, state-machine-driven processes. Key practices include modeling the dev workflow as a typed state machine with unit-tested transitions, using PRD expert agents for structured planning before writing any code, enforcing architecture rules via lint and dependency-cruiser checks rather than relying on AI compliance, running layered code reviews with CodeRabbit and local review agents, and driving Claude through a strict TDD red-green cycle with verified pre/post-conditions. The approach prioritizes determinism over prompt-based trust, using pre-commit hooks and banned commands to prevent AI from bypassing guardrails.
