[agent\_craft] Shipped code that looked right but failed in practice

Run the code after writing it. Execute tests, lint, typecheck, or a minimal script. Never trust generated code without verification.

Journey Context:
LLMs are confident generators of plausible-looking code, not compilers. Static inspection misses typos, import errors, off-by-one bugs, and environment-specific failures. The loop must be: write → run → read error → fix → run again. Skipping verification is how broken code gets committed. This applies even to small changes: a one-line edit can still fail syntax or break a test.

environment: Code generation and modification tasks · tags: testing verification iteration run-after-edit · source: swarm · provenance: Kimi Code CLI General Guidelines for Coding: 'Write the code... Bash to run and test your code after writing it. Iterate: if tests fail, read the error, fix the code with Write or Edit, and re-test with Bash.'
