Agentic Coding 08: Gate the Irreversible

Discover the single discipline that makes aggressive AI delegation safe: putting a human checkpoint in front of every irreversible action — and nowhere else. Learn four practical gating techniques used by expert operators so you can confidently tell the model to do all the reversible work without watching every step.

Where you'll use it

• Delegating a full application build to an AI agent without risking production
• Running large batch operations (email sends, image generation) safely with AI
• Setting standing safety rules in CLAUDE.md for every coding session
• Knowing when to tighten or loosen AI checkpoints during a working session
