First of all. BULLSHIT. Second. why would you give a bot write-access to your filesystem.

The idea is you give it shell access. Say use super coder agent bob johnson to write a thing that does x using this [framework], separate files by best practice for x y and z features, ask security agent OSO to look over the code and suggest changes, ask agent U.N.I.T to make unit tests, when the code looks good, run through the unit tests. If anything fails keep fixing and iterating until every thing passes. Create a README.MD for everything that was done, Create a TODO.MD for any future suggestions.

I'm simplifying, but this actually works to an extent. Each of the agents keep the context windows small, the whole thing stays sane and eventually nets some project that works. The downside is you end up giving it quite a bit of leeway to get the job done or you sit over it watching and authorizing it's every move.

Kinda strange to see a safety director do that....
