To control an AI coding agent building features function by function, use an approval-gated workflow that enforces a one-change-per-turn loop, producing minimal diffs and asking exactly one next-step question before proceeding.

An approval-gated coding workflow handles stubs and forward references by distinguishing expected errors from unexpected ones, verifying touched files with LSP and formatters, and keeping unresolved imports from slipping through unintentionally.

The best way to refactor code incrementally with deterministic diffs is to enforce a one-change-per-turn loop with scoped tooling verification, capturing user intent through a spec surface map before implementation.

To prevent an AI from making bundled assumptions during software development, enforce a strict one-change-per-turn workflow that keeps the user in control of architecture, re-surfacing deferred decisions when they become load-bearing.

Yes, iterative coding requires pre-flight detection for guidelines, LSPs, formatters, and runners, which then scopes tooling verification to touched files and flags unverified external API calls when docs access is unavailable.

You should not use a one-change-per-turn build loop when you need rapid prototyping or large bundled changes, as its strict approval-gated workflow is designed for deliberate, minimal diffs and controlled handling of deferred gaps.
