## AI overview

A tutorial on enforcing coding standards in AI-assisted development. It recommends converting prose standards into machine-checkable rules, running them through hooks and validator skills, and using an LLM judge for ambiguous semantic violations before code reaches human review.

## Source excerpt

TL;DR: Wire your standards into hooks, skills, and a judge, so the harness blocks violations before a human opens the diff. Common Mistake ❌ You paste your coding standards into AGENTS.md and trust t
