Humanize: Judgement Engineering for Agentic Coding

A research study introduces Humanize, a multi-agent orchestration framework designed to address the deficiency of agentic code generators acting as judges of their own work. The approach relies on judgement engineering, establishing strict boundaries between planning, execution, and evaluation through human approval, multi-vendor agent segregation, and 72 deterministic mechanical gates.

As generative software engineering scales, single-agent self-validation presents acute reliability and quality risks in technical operations. Implementing multi-vendor separation of duties and deterministic checkpoints provides an architectural foundation for dependable agentic automation. This structural shift moves the operational focus from pure generation capacity to verifiable execution governance.

Agentic code generation is cost-effective but struggles with reliable completion due to agents being poor evaluators of their own output.

Forward consideration, not a verified fact.
