What they did

A developer reviewed 61 must-fix items from his coding agents and traced 55 of them (90%) to work orders he wrote that were silent or ambiguous. He added a "falsifier" step: before the agent builds, a cheaper model (Sonnet) tries to find ways the work order could be misread. Each pass cost about $0.07 and 34 seconds, and in two runs it caught 60% and 56% of the problems (71% across both).

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Before you write any code, act as a falsifier for this work order: [paste]. List every place it's silent or could be read two ways, every assumption you'd have to make, and what you'd build under each reading. Ask me to resolve each one. Only start building after I've answered.

Hermes Agent Nearly Doubled Speech-to-Text Accuracy on Hard Words: 99 to 183 of 240

A user turned his 15K saved Wispr Flow dictations into a test set for the local Whisper model behind his Hermes Agent. The agent turned his Wispr dictionary into a hint list, diffed raw vs corrected text to find words Whisper keeps mishearing, made find-and-fix rules, and tested every rule against the full history. With no fine-tuning, dictionary words went from 99/240 to 183/240 on Wispr clips and 19/45 to 43/45 on sentences he read aloud. It now archives the data nightly and looks for new fixes weekly.
