Common Failure Modes

Failure 1: No Skills

Results vary wildly.


Failure 2: Weak Skills

Use React.

Too vague: skills must be specific.


Failure 3: No Architectural Generation

Skipping Atomic Bomb / Tool usage causes:

  • Folder drift
  • Naming drift
  • Structural inconsistency

Failure 4: No Validation

AI-generated code is not automatically correct. Validation remains mandatory.


Mini Exercise

Think of one failure mode you have seen in AI-generated code and describe what missing rule allowed it.

Example

If the AI creates a page with API logic, state, and rendering all mixed together, the missing rule may be a requirement to separate domain, state, and UI responsibilities.
