zero-dof
Zero-DOF Programming
Eliminate the freedom to do the job badly. Every measurable dimension of code quality gets an executable oracle — an automated tool that programmatically validates output. Dimensions without oracles get human oversight checkpoints. No dimension is left to LLM judgment alone.
Based on John Regehr's Zero-Degree-of-Freedom LLM Coding.
Quick Reference
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Constrain LLM coding output through automated validation |
| Core concept | Executable oracles — tools that programmatically validate code |
| Key insight | Opposing oracles create the tightest constraints |
| Playbook rule | Linear mandatory steps — no discretion, no shortcuts |
| Gaming defense | Multiple opposing goals make gaming difficult or impossible |
| Human zones | Architecture, unnecessary complexity, GUI polish, security |
