Two agents, same task, same standards

See how two coding agents handled the same iOS task under the same project standards, and what their build, test, and verification evidence revealed.

Ask two agents for the same change and you get two different standards.

One writes a test the other doesn’t. One checks the changed flow, the other just gives you a diff. One writes a good abstraction, the other spits spaghetti.

The industry is obsessed with shipping faster. FlowDeck makes agents meet the bar and prove they did.

Coding Standards sets the bar.

FlowDeck gives your agents explicit engineering rules to write better Swift and produce consistent output across your favorite models. Choose and customize the rules once. Every session starts with them.

Validation sets the proof.

Choose what an agent must do before handing work back, to bring consistent validation practices across all your models.

  • Run a fast, test-focused pass

  • Test the changed flow in the simulator

  • Check related flows across multiple devices, with screenshots and recordings

Coding Standards and Validation settings are available in the latest FlowDeck 1.0 update.
