AI Coding Agents Need 'How NOT to Use' Guides, Not Just Docs
mattpocockuk · x · 2026-07-30
The author points out that for today's AI coding agents, standard documentation is trivial for agents to crawl and learn. What developers truly lack are 'how NOT to use them' guides.
Currently, developers often have to shoot themselves in the foot first to discover a framework's footguns, and then manually write these rules into their CODINGSTANDARDS.md for their review agents. The author calls for frameworks to natively provide a severity-ordered list of known pitfalls and anti-patterns.
