TL;DR · WeSearch summary

The author describes two projects where all code was generated by Claude Code over several months. To prevent architectural drift, rule and architecture files are locked and any modifications require human approval. Independent validator agents verify each implementation against the locked specifications.

Key facts

▪In a web service project lasting five months and a macOS Swift app lasting three months, every line of code was produced by Claude Code.
▪The system locks Claude Code rules and architecture/style documents, allowing only the human author to push changes to these files.
▪Agents can propose changes but cannot push them; proposals are reviewed and approved by the author before being applied.
▪Separate validator agents run after each implementation to ensure compliance with the locked rules and architecture.

Zero architectural drift. #ai #claude #architecture In one web service project I have been building and maintaining for 5 months, every line of code has been written by Claude Code. In a second project, a macOS app in Swift built over 3 months, the same is true with Claude Code. The architecture has not drifted. What drift actually is with AI AI failures usually get described as catastrophic. The agent broke the build.
