What problem does it solve?
Behavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes, derived from Andrej Karpathy's observations on LLM coding pitfalls.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Think Before Coding: Surface assumptions, ask when uncertain, and surface tradeoffs.
- Simplicity First: Use minimum code that solves the problem; avoid unnecessary abstractions.
- Surgical Changes: Touch only what you must; keep unrelated code intact and document changes.
- Goal-Driven Execution: Define verifiable success criteria and iterate until they are met.
Quick Start
Consult these guidelines at the start of coding tasks and reference them during reviews to keep changes minimal and verifiable.
