What has worked for me…

Pair programming. I call it pilot / copilot / autopilot. Two real people plus one or two agents working together. Classic XP stuff, the copilot can help remind what we are focusing on, file follow up issues, give instant code reviews.

Bake offs. Do the same task but in two different chats or agents or approaches (TDD vs vibe or legacy app vs next app).

I don’t do these all the time, and they don’t guarantee ROI, but it keeps me focused on one thing to completion intend of getting distracted
