Mise en Place for Agentic Coding: Deliberate Preparation as Context Engineering Methodology
Researchers propose 'mise en place' (MEP), a three-phase preparation methodology for AI coding agents that emphasizes contextual grounding, collaborative specification, and task decomposition before implementation. The approach counters prevalent 'vibe coding' practices by demonstrating that deliberate preparation reduces debugging overhead and enables efficient parallel agent execution, validated through a hackathon case study.
