How the AC/DC framework helps teams govern AI coding agents
Scored daily by a customisable AI persona to surface the most relevant engineering leadership news.
Framework for governing AI coding agents, highly relevant to agent orchestration.
The AC/DC framework (Agent Centric Development Cycle) defines four stages—Guide, Generate, Verify, Solve—to govern AI coding agents at scale, countering the market’s overemphasis on generation speed. Effective governance hinges on strong Guide and Verify stages: Guide provides structured context (architecture, standards, compliance) to prevent drift, while Verify catches probabilistic failures (logic flaws, security issues) early rather than as a late-stage checkpoint. Without these, teams risk code generation outpacing their ability to establish trust and maintainability.
