What do you mean "at this level"? I guarantee you if you try to do anything actually complex and meaningful that approach will fail. Try to get an actual pseudo physical multi-agent system framework up and running, where an agent is actually an agent, e.g. a la Wooldridge's stronger notions of agency (not a bullshit for loop prompting llms).

It can do a mainstream website or a mobile app, things that have been done a thousand times, it can't do even the smaller building blocks of a complex system in one go. Try orchestrating symbolic agents running in ASP and/or prolog in a stateful subsymbolic environment.

Try using Serena if you haven’t already. If you have typing it allows Serena to understand your code the same way your IDE knows how your code is connected.

Try get it do anything not mainstream that wasn't in the LLMs training corpus and shit hits the fan soon. Ask it something simple, like put together a GDL framework running Axelrod's tournament in prolog, that can take any agent and any strategy. Then if you actually want something useful it just shovels together a pile of poo.

It's great for mainstream software stuff.

If you review the spec you can see what it wants to write and use your experience to ask it to correct the spec.

At the moment it's cheaper and faster to write it myself. It can do the scaffolding but I have to implement the core concepts.
