Diligence prevents AI agents from shipping quick fixes that break things
by enforcing a research-propose-verify loop before any code changes.
Key features:
- Worker sub-agent researches and proposes with file:line citations
- Reviewer sub-agent independently verifies claims by searching codebase
- Iterates until approved (max 5 rounds)
- Loads project-specific context from .claude/CODEBASE_CONTEXT.md
- State persisted across sessions
Validated on production codebase: caught architectural mistake (broker
subscriptions on client-side code) that naive agent would have shipped.
