Agentic Coding 12: Steering: Corrections & Voice

Most developers lose time by re-explaining entire tasks just to fix one small detail — and that habit slowly breaks long builds. This lesson teaches three surgical correction patterns, the acknowledge-then-redirect move, and the compressed operator voice that keeps builds sharp without wasting a single token.

Where you'll use it

• Correcting a model mid-build without restarting from scratch
• Enforcing hard constraints that the model must never violate
• Driving routine work forward with minimal keystrokes
• Escalating a repeated miss so the model locks onto the fix
• Keeping long agentic sessions sharp by avoiding context waste
