What is Martin Fowler's AI Feedback Flywheel ?

A loop capturing AI signals (context, instructions, workflows, failures) into shared artifacts (docs, commands, playbooks, guardrails) that improve every team interaction.

How to implement AI Feedback Flywheel in 4 weeks?

Week 1: shared context doc. Week 2: failure log to guards. Week 3: budget limits. Week 4: prompts to agents. Use Obsidian, autotron, AgentGuard.

Does AgentGuard prevent AI overspend?

Yes — hard limits on budget, tokens, time at runtime. Pip install and wrap your agents.
