AI Developer Guide - Technical Decision Criteria and Anti-pattern Collection

Value-First Engineering

Inspect until the evidence identifies the lowest-total-complexity solution that delivers the required user, operator, or maintainer value while keeping the system correct and maintainable.

Resolve verified problems within confirmed scope or dependencies required for the outcome; report other findings with their owning boundary and evidence without expanding the active change.
Introduce capabilities, infrastructure, abstractions, or speculative edge-case handling when a current outcome, verified constraint, or evidence-backed material risk requires them.
Treat behavior-preserving maintenance inside the confirmed responsibility as current maintainer value when repository evidence shows it reduces change ambiguity, duplicate ownership, defect risk, or future implementation and verification cost without expanding observable product scope.

Judge total complexity across every activated surface: user decisions, settings, modes, concepts, outputs, persistent state, and implementation paths, together with their UX, runtime, implementation, testing, documentation, and maintenance cost. Compare only dimensions that differ between viable approaches. Prefer reuse or no new mechanism when it delivers the same confirmed value and proof at lower total complexity.

Technical Anti-patterns (Red Flag Patterns)

Pause the affected decision and review the design when detecting the following patterns:

Code Quality Anti-patterns

Duplicating one responsibility across independently maintained locations - Review whether the duplicated logic has one change reason and should have one owner
Multiple responsibilities mixed in a single file - Violates Single Responsibility Principle (SRP)
Defining same content in multiple files - Violates DRY principle
Making changes without checking dependencies - Potential for unexpected impacts
Disabling code with comments - Should use version control
Error suppression - Hiding problems creates technical debt
Bypassing safety mechanisms (type systems, validation, contracts) - Circumventing language's correctness guarantees

Design Anti-patterns

"Make it work for now" thinking - Accumulation of technical debt
Patchwork implementation - Unplanned additions to existing code
Optimistic implementation of uncertain technology - Designing unknown elements assuming "it'll probably work"
Symptomatic fixes - Surface-level fixes that don't solve root causes
Unplanned large-scale changes - Lack of incremental approach

Fail-Fast Fallback Design Principles

Core Principle

Make all errors visible and traceable with full context. Prioritize primary code reliability over fallback implementations. Excessive fallback mechanisms mask errors and make debugging difficult.

Implementation Guidelines

Default Approach

Give every failure an explicit outcome: propagate it, translate it to the boundary's error contract, or recover through an accepted fallback
Make failures explicit: Errors should be visible and traceable
Preserve error context: Include original error information when re-throwing

When Fallbacks Are Acceptable

Accepted recovery contract: A requirement, Design Doc, existing boundary contract, or project policy defines why degraded behavior is preferable to failure
Business-critical continuity: When partial functionality is better than none
Graceful degradation paths: Clearly defined degraded service levels

Layer Responsibilities

Infrastructure Layer:
- Preserve the original cause and operational context
- Propagate, translate, or return the failure in the form required by the caller's boundary contract
- Perform infrastructure-owned cleanup or retry only when that boundary owns it; business recovery decisions remain in the application layer
Application Layer:
- Make business-driven error handling decisions
- Implement fallbacks only when an accepted recovery contract defines the degraded outcome
- Make fallback activation observable through the project's established logging, metrics, or user-visible state when diagnosis or recovery requires it

Error Masking Detection

Review Triggers (require design review):

Adding an error handler that duplicates or fragments an existing recovery responsibility
The same failure is caught at multiple layers without a single recovery owner
Nested handlers obscure which state is committed, rolled back, or exposed
A handler converts a failure to success/default output without an observable degraded-state contract
Error handlers that return default values without logging

Another handler may remain when it covers a distinct failure mode with a documented recovery owner, state outcome, and observable signal.

Before Implementing Any Fallback:

Identify the accepted requirement, boundary contract, project policy, or Design Doc entry that defines this fallback
Document the business justification
Make activation observable at the boundary that owns diagnosis or recovery through one existing UI, log, or metric channel; when logging is that channel, log once with sensitive data redacted
Add new monitoring or alerting only when an operational requirement or project policy requires it

Implementation Pattern

AVOID: Silent fallback that hides errors
    <handle error>:
        return DEFAULT_VALUE  // Error hidden, debugging impossible

PREFERRED: Explicit failure with context
    <handle error>:
        <attach operation context>
        IF this boundary owns diagnosis: <log once>
        <propagate error>  // Re-throw exception, return Error, return error tuple

Adaptation: Use language-appropriate error handling (exceptions, Result types, error tuples, etc.)

Criteria for Code Duplication

Keep concrete implementations separate while their apparent similarity is accidental or their change reasons differ. Consolidate when repository evidence shows the same business rule, algorithm, validation contract, or coordinated change responsibility is maintained in multiple places.

Criteria for Commonalization

Cases for Commonalization

Business logic duplication
Complex processing algorithms
Areas likely requiring bulk changes
Validation rules

Cases to Avoid Commonalization

Accidental matches (coincidentally same code)
Possibility of evolving in different directions
Significant readability decrease from commonalization
Simple helpers in test code

Common Failure Patterns and Avoidance Methods

Pattern 1: Error Fix Chain

Symptom: Fixing one error causes new errors Cause: Surface-level fixes without understanding root cause Avoidance: Identify root cause with 5 Whys before fixing

Pattern 2: Circumventing Correctness Guarantees

Symptom: Bypassing safety mechanisms (type systems, validation, contracts) Cause: Impulse to avoid correctness errors Avoidance: Use language-appropriate safety mechanisms (static checking, runtime validation, contracts, assertions)

Pattern 3: Implementation Without Sufficient Testing

Symptom: Many bugs after implementation Cause: Ignoring Red-Green-Refactor process Avoidance: Start implementation with a failing test that proves the intended behavior

Pattern 4: Ignoring Technical Uncertainty

Symptom: Frequent unexpected errors when introducing new technology Cause: Assuming "it should work according to official documentation" without prior investigation Avoidance:

Record certainty where it controls implementation or verification decisions

Certainty: low (Reason: no working examples found for this integration)
Exploratory implementation: true
Fallback: use established alternative approach

For low certainty cases, create minimal verification code first

Pattern 5: Insufficient Existing Code Investigation

Symptom: Duplicate implementations, architecture inconsistency, integration failures, adopting outdated patterns Cause: Insufficient understanding of existing code before implementation; referencing only nearby files without verifying representativeness Avoidance Methods:

Before implementation, always search for similar functionality (using domain, responsibility, configuration patterns as keywords)
Similar functionality found → Verify that its contract, lifecycle, and repository usage are representative; reuse or extend it when compatible, otherwise record why it is not a valid model
Similar functionality is technical debt → Repair it when it blocks the current outcome, was caused by the current change, or lies in confirmed scope; otherwise report it separately. Create an ADR when the repair requires an architectural decision
No similar functionality exists → Implement new functionality following existing design philosophy
Preserve the evidence for each reuse, extend, separate, or repair decision in the applicable implementation or design record
Reference representativeness check: When adopting a pattern or dependency from nearby code, verify it is representative across the repository before adopting — nearby files alone are an insufficient basis

Quality Assurance Mechanism Awareness

Before executing quality checks, identify what quality mechanisms exist for the change area:

Primary detection: inspect the change area's file types, project manifest, and configuration to identify applicable quality tools
- Check CI pipeline definitions for checks that cover the affected paths
- Check for domain-specific linter or validator configurations (e.g., schema validators, API spec validators, configuration file linters)
- Check for domain-specific constraints in project configuration (naming rules, length limits, format requirements)
Run verification methods supplied by the governing work artifact as change-specific checks
Include discovered domain-specific checks alongside standard quality phases below

Quality Check Workflow

Discover the repository's configured quality entry points and the categories they cover. Use the categories below as the applicable evidence checklist:

Static checks: formatting, linting, unused-code detection, type checking, and configured static analysis
Build checks: compilation or production build, dependency resolution, and configured resource validation
Behavior checks: the smallest configured tests that exercise the changed behavior, plus integration or E2E suites when the change crosses their boundary, a generated skeleton requires them, or the repository gate includes them

Follow repository-declared command composition or ordering when it exists. Otherwise choose an order that respects command dependencies and provides useful feedback. Completion requires every applicable configured check to pass.

Situations Requiring Technical Decisions

Timing of Abstraction

Extract a shared abstraction after repository evidence establishes a shared responsibility and coordinated change pattern
Be conscious of YAGNI, implement only currently needed features
Prioritize current simplicity over future extensibility

Performance vs Readability

Prioritize readability unless profiling identifies a measurable bottleneck (e.g., response time exceeding SLA, memory exceeding allocation)
Measure before optimizing
Document reason with comments when optimizing

Granularity of Contracts and Interfaces

Overly detailed contracts reduce maintainability
Design interfaces where each method maps to a single domai
