I stopped asking coding agents to guess where they could edit

Short summary

The author introduces Doc Bridge, a tool that gives coding agents deterministic ownership handoffs — specifying where to start reading, where to edit, which checks to run, and which human docs to reference — instead of letting agents guess. The approach prioritizes exact ownership resolution over probabilistic RAG search, with a CI gate to keep the index fresh. While the article is somewhat self-promotional, the pattern of explicit scope contracts for agents is a genuinely useful idea for teams using AI coding assistants in monorepos.
