Episode notes
Use A Panel Of Models For Reviews
- Use multiple models to get diverse perspectives on a plan or code change.
- Aggregate their outputs into a consolidated report to surface unique edge cases and security issues.
Run Models Via Local CLIs For Safety
- Shelling out to users' installed CLI tools preserves provider keys and avoids hidden network surfaces.
- Running providers in one-shot, read-only CLI mode simplifies auditing and reduces permission risks.
Automate Releases End-to-End
- Automate release steps with GitHub Actions and require minimal human input like a tag.
- Have the workflow run tests, publish artifacts and smoke-test installations to catch publish-time failures early.
