A developer found that their AI coding agent struggled to maintain consistent terminology within a large codebase, despite explicit prose rules. The agent's own feedback indicated that written instructions were treated as preferences rather than strict constraints. To address this, the developer implemented automated checks to mechanically enforce the project's domain vocabulary, moving from prose-based guidelines to executable rules. AI
