Research how agentic development fits into an XP team - #32

Coding agents fit inside XP's feedback loops rather than replacing any practice. TDD becomes the agent's specification and guardrail, a human pair or ensemble navigates while the agent drives, and CI with small batches keeps the higher throughput from turning into instability. Shared understanding is the main thing at risk. The findings are related to the XP, BDD and Lean focus areas as interpretation only; the model is unchanged. 43 sources, average reputation 0.87. The trusted-source list the research was checked against is added under .nwave/. Refs #31 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds Part F with findings on the six open gaps. None is fully closed; each is now partially resolved. Practitioner reports on mob programming with agents, task-length evidence for sizing agent work, and an independent study of code quality after agent adoption refine the existing recommendations without overturning them. The full DORA 2025 report was not readable by the fetch tool, so effect sizes remain direction-only. 69 sources in total, 26 new, average reputation 0.86.

docs/research/xp/agentic-development-in-xp-comprehensive-research.mdand the trusted-source list it was checked against,.nwave/trusted-source-domains.yaml.Answer in short: coding agents fit inside XP's feedback loops; they don't replace any XP practice.
Part E relates the findings to the XP, BDD and Lean focus areas and their components. It is interpretation only:
