Agent Environment Essay Implementation Plan

For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (- [ ]) syntax for tracking.

Goal: Turn the user’s draft notes about AI agent coding environments into a polished Chinese technical essay and publish it as a Jekyll blog post.

Architecture: Write one new post in _posts/ with clean front matter and structured prose, preserving the strongest original claims while converting list-like notes into a coherent essay. Keep the rest of the site unchanged except for the new content appearing through normal Jekyll post discovery.

Tech Stack: Jekyll, Markdown, Minimal Mistakes

Task 1: Create the post draft

Files:

• Create: /Users/ssunxie/code/my-blog/_posts/2026-04-12-humans-steer-agents-execute.md

• Step 1: Define front matter

Include:

title: "Humans steer. Agents execute."
excerpt: "程序员的职责，正在从写代码转向设计能让 AI Agent 持续推进的环境。"
categories:
  - Essays
tags:
  - AI Agent
  - Codex
  - Claude Code
  - Harness Engineering

• Step 2: Write the opening and body

Write the essay as continuous prose with section headings reflecting the approved structure.

Expected: The content reads like a personal technical essay rather than raw notes.

• Step 3: Preserve the key example

Include the multi-agent bug-finding example in a readable form without leaving it as a deeply nested numbered list.

Expected: Readers can understand the idea without needing the original note structure.

Task 2: Validate the generated site

Files:

• Test: /Users/ssunxie/code/my-blog/_site/index.html

• Test: /Users/ssunxie/code/my-blog/_site/blog/2026/04/12/humans-steer-agents-execute.html

Run:

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/ruby@3.3/bin:$PATH"
bundle exec jekyll build

Expected: Build succeeds.

• Step 2: Verify the post page exists

Run:

test -f /Users/ssunxie/code/my-blog/_site/blog/2026/04/12/humans-steer-agents-execute.html

Expected: The generated post page exists.

• Step 3: Verify the home page now includes a post

Run:

rg -n "Humans steer\\. Agents execute\\." /Users/ssunxie/code/my-blog/_site/index.html

Expected: The home page references the new article.

Task 3: Publish

Files:

• Create: /Users/ssunxie/code/my-blog/_posts/2026-04-12-humans-steer-agents-execute.md

• Step 1: Commit the new article

Run:

git -C /Users/ssunxie/code/my-blog add _posts/2026-04-12-humans-steer-agents-execute.md
git -C /Users/ssunxie/code/my-blog commit -m "feat: publish agent environment essay"

Expected: The new post is committed cleanly.

• Step 2: Push to GitHub Pages

Run:

git -C /Users/ssunxie/code/my-blog push origin master:main

Expected: GitHub Pages deployment is triggered.
