Context Loss and Side Effects from Bundled AI-Assisted Changes

Implement strict discipline: (1) Build one feature at a time, (2) Review and test before committing each change, (3) Avoid bundling multiple feature requests in single prompts, (4) Re-read code between changes to maintain context, (5) Track side effects explicitly, (6) Use token limits as a forcing function to keep scope small, (7) Maintain detailed documentation of system state and dependencies. The key is treating AI assistance as a tool that requires human oversight, not as a replacement for human judgment.
