I Directed AI Agents to Build a Tool That Stress-Tests Incentive Designs. Here’s What It Found.

Incentive Wargame I don’t write code. I have zero programming experience. What I do is direct AI coding agents - Claude Code, Codex - to build open-source tools, and then I test them until they either work or break in interesting ways. Agent 006 is the sixth tool in that series, and it’s the one that surprised me. It takes a natural-language description of an economic system - a set of rules about who can do what, with what resources, under what constraints - and runs AI-generated adversarial agents against those rules to see what fails. Not a formal verifier.
