Source-Driven Development

AI agents can confidently generate outdated or deprecated framework code. Source-driven development replaces memory-based implementation with a repeatable loop: detect the version, fetch the official source, implement from that source, then capture the reference in durable notes.

When to Use

• Writing framework-specific code you have not touched recently
• Using a library that changed versions since the last time you used it
• Implementing middleware, routing, configuration, hooks, or SDK integration
• Seeing deprecation warnings or suspecting API drift
• Asking an AI agent to write code where stale training data could mislead it
