Get Started with AI Coding Guidelines
AI Agents on a Leash
AI agents need steering. They do what we ask them to, not what we think they should do. When they produce something different from what we wanted, we need to iterate and guide them.
This is the core principle behind AI Coding Guidelines – providing you with the knowledge and tools to effectively steer AI agents like Claude Code toward your desired outcomes.
The Steering Philosophy
AI agents are incredibly powerful, but they require clear direction:
- 🎯 Specific Instructions: Vague requests get unpredictable results
- 🔄 Iterative Refinement: First attempts rarely perfect, iteration is key
- 🎛️ Progressive Control: Start simple, add complexity as needed
- 📋 Context Management: Provide the right information at the right time

What's Next
Once you've got your first project running, explore these key areas:
- Chat Modes - Different interaction styles for various development tasks
- Steering Techniques - Advanced prompting and behavior control methods
- MCP Servers - Extend Claude's capabilities with external tools and services
- Practical Guides - Real-world workflows and development patterns
Remember: The goal isn't to replace your judgment with AI, but to amplify your capabilities through effective steering and collaboration.
