AI Agents Fail in Predictable Ways
Clancy prevents the most common AI coding failures before they happen.
Removes features while "fixing" bugs
→ The Hippocratic Rule prevents removal without explicit permission
Claims "it works" without testing
→ The Missouri Rule requires verification evidence
Uses workarounds that hide root causes
→ The House Rule forces proper diagnosis first
Changes break related features
→ Mandatory checklists catch regressions
Handoffs lose critical context
→ Structured handover patterns preserve knowledge
Uses deprecated or non-existent libraries
→ The Reagan Rule validates technology choices
