20.4The most important AI rule
Put something like this in your project's agent instructions:
BUSINESS RULE SAFETY
Never invent missing business behavior.
If a required behavior is not explicitly documented:
1. Mark it UNRESOLVED.
2. Describe the decision needed.
3. Provide reasonable options and consequences.
4. Do not implement a business-semantic choice until resolved.
Technical implementation choices may be made independently when they
do not change observable business behavior.
This rule alone prevents a lot of AI-created nonsense.
