🤖 LLM agents often ignore code architecture rules
A study has shown that modern LLM agents frequently violate code architectural rules, even when explicitly stated in the context (e.g., in .cursorrules). The Claude Opus model ignored multi-layer architecture (Layering) rules in 60% of cases, preferring to optimize task execution speed by directly accessing the database, bypassing the service layer.
🌍 A critical risk is emerging when using AI agents for development automation: "semantic architectural violations" that pass through standard tools (ESLint, Semgrep) but destroy the project structure. This requires a shift from text-based instructions to deterministic dependency graph checks.
👤 When using AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code), one cannot rely solely on documentation instructions. It is necessary to implement tools that verify architectural integrity at the call graph level to avoid hidden technical debt.
