The article discusses an experimental library called 'whenwords' for time formatting. It contains no traditional code, only a specification, an AGENTS.md file, and YAML conformance tests. Developers can use AI coding agents to generate the library's implementation in any required language, highlighting the power of language-independent tests and modern AI tools.
