LLMs are not great at following commands. They deviate. Frequently. And they’re unreliable at self-verification—they’ll confidently tell you the code works while it’s on fire. The fix isn’t to ask the LLM to verify. It’s to ask it to write a script that verifies. Shift from judgment to artifact.

Instead of asking an LLM “Did this work?” you define verification steps that produce a series of pass/fail artifacts. The agent can’t negotiate with a failing test. It either meets the specification or it doesn’t.
