What you'll learn
Ways to keep coding agents on-track
Learn about different tools that can be used to constrain agent output, ranging from deterministic to natural-language.
When and where to use each tool
Each tool has different trade-offs and performance implications; many of them can be used together.
Keeping guardrails up-to-date
Treat guardrails as first-class in your codebase. Share ownership across teams and update them as the code evolves.
From guardrails to patterns
Code is structured text with repeating patterns. Use tools to enforce what you want and migrate from what you don’t.
Why this topic matters
AI coding agents are reshaping how developers work. Learn how to set effective guardrails that keep agents aligned, reliable, and evolving with your codebase so your tools stay helpful, not harmful, as your projects scale.
