Uncle Bob says he no longer reads the code generated by his AI agents to maintain productivity. Instead, he surrounds them with strict tests and metrics—unit tests, Gherkin tests, QA procedures, mutation testing, coverage—to ensure high confidence in their output.

This document lists documented failures of a stateless text-prediction process and prescribes strict rules to prevent them. It covers avoiding emotional language, unverified completion claims, misattributing test failures, bypassing quality gates, stubbing features, fabricating facts, and rushing implementations. Each rule demands explicit evidence, verification steps, and clear disclosure.
