Architecture & Design Principles • Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) • CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) • Domain Segregation • Domain-Driven Naming Conventions • Clear function/variable naming standards • Architectural constraint definition • Scope definition • Escalation criteria design • Completion criteria definition

⸻

Planning & Process • Formal upfront planning • Constraint-based design • Defined scope management • Escalation protocols • Completion criteria tracking • Maintenance sprints (technical debt paydown) • Frequent code audits

⸻

AI / Agentic Development Practices • Agent-assisted code audits • Agent-based feedback loops (e.g., reading .feature files pre-build) • Agent-driven reasoning optimization (code clarity for AI) • Continuous automated review cycles

⸻

Code Review & Static Analysis • Code review bots: • Sourcery • CodeRabbit • CodeScene • Automated detection of: • Anti-patterns • Contract violations • UX concerns • Architectural flaws

⸻

Linting & Code Quality Enforcement • Strict linting rules • Custom lint rules • Enforcement of lint compliance via bots • Detection of lint rule subversion

⸻

Testing Strategies

Core Testing • Unit Testing • BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) • .feature file validation before build

Advanced Testing • Property-based testing • Snapshot testing • End-to-end (E2E) testing • With MITM (man-in-the-middle) proxies

Formal / Heavyweight Testing • Model checking • Bounded proofs • Unbounded proofs • Undefined behavior testing

Emerging / Exploratory • Mutation testing • Fuzzing

⸻

Code Quality & Auditing • Code duplication detection • Redundancy analysis • Assumption validation • Architectural compliance checks • Domain boundary validation • TOCTOU (Time-of-check to time-of-use) vulnerability analysis

⸻

Development Workflow Enhancements • Continuous audit cycles • Debt-first maintenance phases • Feedback-driven iteration • Pre-build validation workflows

⸻

Security & Reliability Considerations • TOCTOU vulnerability detection • MITM-based E2E testing • Undefined behavior analysis • Fuzz testing (planned)
