Vladimir Bandov, a backend developer at Domclick, shared his experience in configuring coding agents. The author noted that initial attempts to set up agents were complicated by the variety of available skills, MCP tools, and permission configurations.
The developer encountered issues with excessive agent autonomy, where the AI performed unnecessary actions or implemented features outside the original task scope. Managing these tools and ensuring the agent followed a logical sequence of planning before execution proved difficult.
To optimize the workflow, the author developed a simplified approach using the OpenCode Desktop environment. This method focuses on using the agent as a assistant rather than a full replacement for a developer, prioritizing ease of adding new MCP tools and skills.
