Here is how I do and don't use agents, idk who this will help but its worth spelling out my preferences and why:
- I tell the agent to code how I would do it
- If the language is one I am _very_ familiar with I feel comfortable getting it to generate very good idiomatic code that is indistinguishable from my own and doing large refactors
- If the language is one I'm not comfortable with, I keep the pull request under 100-200 lines of code for the reviewers sanity since I can't discern the nuance of good/versus bad code
- ALWAYS read/self review the code before opening the PR, the onus is on the AI wielder to make sure the code is up to par with what they would do themselves before inflicting their teammates
- never auto open PRs because of ^
- if you do all the above you can avoid slop and not annoy your peers
my name is jessie frazelle and i have not touched code in an editor since october.

This has been said a thousand times before, but allow me to add my own voice: the era of humans writing code is over. Disturbing for those of us who identify as SWEs, but no less true. That's not to say SWEs don't have work to do, but writing syntax directly is not it.
