Agent hooks (PreToolUse and Stop) enforce coding rules deterministically, preventing raw HTML tags and blocking task completion until a design-system test passes.

Get started with Claude Code hooks - Claude Code Docs
Claude Code hooks are user-defined shell commands that run at specific lifecycle points to enforce rules, automate tasks, and integrate with existing tools.

Compound Engineering - The Next Paradigm Shift in Software Engieering
Compound engineering uses AI agents, automated testing, and rapid feedback loops to achieve 300-700% productivity gains by treating each completed task as an investment that accelerates future development. The feedback loop becomes the critical bottleneck when code generation speed approaches near-instant.
