Security rules every AI coding agent should follow, per one backend dev
AI coding agents write a lot of code fast. The problem is they also skip a lot of security checks fast.
Adam McClarin published a set of security rules he enforces on every AI coding agent he works with. The rules come from a real backend build, tested under real code review and real mistakes. His framing is direct: this is not a checklist copied from somewhere else.
If you’re using Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, or any other AI coding assistant on a backend project, the gap between “it works” and “it’s safe to ship” is where most solo developers and small teams get burned. A rule set distilled from actual production pain is worth more than the generic OWASP rehash most articles serve up.
