This will sound extremely stupid, but I have a skill that I use after letting an agent write code for a new feature. This skill creates a copy of the base branch and shows me each of the diffs that matter (outside of imports and other non-important boilerplate) and then I type it on an editor.

I don't use it too often because of the time it takes, but for critical work it is really good.

I have tried to come up with other equivalent ideas, like asking questions about a specific aspect of a feature, or showing the diff with some gaps to be filled, and even though they help I am still on the look out of methods to "imprint" the understanding of features into our brain.

Does anyone know any good papers or studies that could be useful in this research?

As long as you generate code in small increments and intentionally I don't think its a big deal.
