Best moments from Behind the Craft
From its most-watched episodes, best first. Each plays right here.
Build trust in a bot by turning observed runs into skills
“I think one thing I always try to encourage people to do, you know, whether you're a pstack user or not is to actually spend the time to sort of observe the bot or agent doing”
Behind the Craft39:50 A Greptile score loop makes agents fix their own PRs
“Anytime Greptile gives any sort of feedback or a score under five out of five, the grep loop fires. It takes in the feedback. It writes the code. It pushes to GitHub.”
Behind the Craft24:22 A design system helps engineers and agents ship consistently
“everything behind the scenes is tokens and components and uh yeah it's all it's all reusable not just the human but for agents too”
Behind the Craft20:26 An eng lead bot that only delegates lets one person run agent swarms
Lauren has an eng lead bot that never does work itself and only delegates to engineer bots, which spawn cloud agents. Her agent-friendly codebase means PRs sometimes auto-merge before she reads them.
Make agents prove a bug exists and prove the fix
“it forces the agent to prove that this bug actually happens. Right. Because sometimes it just might have been user error.”
Behind the Craft12:30 An internal agent can become a tool everyone improves
Sam shows Nacho, an internal assistant connected to company data that helps answer questions and investigate issues. It grew from a side project, with no single owner.
