Measured: Do AI agents actually follow injected rules? 737 tests, 0 violations
Sea-Perception1619 · reddit · 2026-08-30
The author tested AI agent compliance with injected rules using a custom tool called Scar. Results show 0 violations out of 737 rule firings. The core mechanism uses Git Hooks to inject and verify rules (Regex) before and after code edits, ensuring the agent not only 'sees' the rule but also 'obeys' it in the diff. The author highlights observation asymmetry (only violations are observable) and shares a pre-registered threshold method.
