coding-discipline

Research-grounded 5-principle behavioral contract for production LLM coding agents. Addresses named failure modes (test-gaming, phantom changes, scope creep, ego-signaling, confident hallucination) with empirical backing from SWE-bench, FeatBench, DELEGATE-52, and SE literature. Covers Think Before Coding, Simplicity First, Surgical Changes, Goal-Driven Execution, and Calibrated Communication — each with named anti-patterns, iteration budgets, and a structured completion schema.
