What they did
Cockroach Labs ran a coding-agent pipeline with hospital roles (triage nurse, fellow, review attending, discharge nurse) and mandatory planning and review before merge. Over 5 months it processed over a million lines of code with only 7 reverts.

Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Set up a pipeline for [repo] with separate agent roles: a triage agent that writes a short case note for each issue, an implementer that must write a plan before code, a reviewer that rejects anything without tests, and a discharge step that checks CI and writes release notes. Nothing merges without the reviewer's sign-off.
