Rather than a single all-knowing assistant, the approach uses specialized agents with distinct responsibilities: one finds problems, one fixes them, one verifies the fix. Using a Toggle component rework as a concrete example, 25 configurations were tested in ~10 minutes vs. ~90 minutes manually. The core argument is that AI agents should protect a 'quality floor' (consistency, accessibility, standards compliance) so human attention can focus on raising the 'ceiling' (judgement, strategy, what deserves to be made). The goal is automation for focus, not just speed. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
