To stop an AI orchestrator from writing code directly, you need to enforce lane discipline. This prevents orchestrators from drifting into implementation by mandating strict delegation protocols and handoff procedures to specialized engineering roles.

Lane discipline in AI orchestration is the strict separation of concerns between task coordination and code implementation. It is needed to prevent AI orchestrators from drifting into direct coding, which ensures system integrity and maintains code quality.

To manage tool governance for an AI orchestrator, define direct write permissions strictly for documentation. Any production code changes must be blocked from direct implementation and routed through strict handoff protocols to specialized roles.

Yes, an AI orchestrator can make direct edits to documentation. This is permitted under MIP Optimization criteria, which allows minor, low-risk direct edits to documentation only when specific, audited conditions are met.

The best way to handle bug identification without direct code fixes is to use a delegation protocol. When the orchestrator identifies a bug, it generates a detailed handoff packet for the implementation-lead role instead of fixing it directly.

You should not use a strict AI orchestration delegation protocol if your workflow lacks specialized roles to receive handoffs. Without designated implementation engineers to process the delegated tasks, the strict handoff protocols will stall production code changes.
