AI-Assisted Development Guardrails
AI accelerates output — but without guardrails, it accelerates chaos too. I help teams harness AI coding tools with the review processes, boundaries, and quality gates that keep your architecture intact.
Schedule an AI Guardrails ReviewSound Familiar?
500-line generated diffs land in review queues. Reviewers rubber-stamp them because understanding the intent is impossible.
Every AI session produces a different style. Your codebase becomes a patchwork of conflicting conventions and abstractions.
AI confidently restructures code without understanding the invariants. Subtle bugs ship because the tests it wrote don't cover the real edge cases.
Generated code ships without meaningful coverage. When it does include tests, they assert implementation details instead of behavior.
AI doesn't know your architecture decisions. It introduces new patterns, bypasses boundaries, and erodes the structure your team built deliberately.
What I Do
I design the workflows, review processes, and repo-level guardrails that let your team move fast with AI — while keeping quality high and architecture coherent.
Define when and how AI tools fit into your development loop — from ideation through merge.
Structured review criteria for AI-generated code so reviewers know exactly what to verify.
Linting rules, CI checks, and automated gates that catch AI-generated anti-patterns before they merge.
Architecture Decision Records that give AI tools — and your team — the context to make consistent choices.
Coverage requirements and test patterns that ensure AI-generated code is verified against real behavior, not just syntax.
Deliverables
A documented workflow defining how AI agents integrate into your dev process — task scoping, context injection, and output validation.
A concrete checklist your team uses to review AI-generated PRs — covering correctness, style, security, and architectural fit.
PR templates, issue templates, and CODEOWNERS rules configured to enforce your guardrails automatically.
Documented module boundaries, dependency rules, and ADRs that keep AI-generated code within your intended architecture.
A lightweight adoption guide your team can follow — covering onboarding, escalation paths, and continuous improvement loops.
