Guardrails for AI Coding Agents

If you’ve been building software with AI agents for more than five minutes, you already know the pattern.

• You give a clear prompt.
• You give step-by-step instructions.
• You provide examples.
• You even add comments and warnings.

And the AI… mostly listens. Until it doesn’t.

Then suddenly your agent is deleting code out of nowhere, ignoring formatting conventions, rewriting patterns that are literally right beside the file it’s editing, and inventing its own test structure like it’s auditioning for a parallel universe.
