The goal is to standardize the workflow, not the thinking. When everyone uses AI their own way, you get inconsistent styles, uneven quality, and code nobody can maintain together. The fix is shared agreements, not banning the tools.

CLAUDE.md / cursor rules) describing your conventions, architecture, and do/don't, so the AI gives everyone consistent output.The principle is consistency at the output and process layer. How each engineer reasons with the AI is theirs; what lands in the repo must meet one shared bar.
AI multiplies whatever process you already have. With no shared standard, it multiplies divergence — five engineers produce five incompatible styles, reviewers can't keep up, and the codebase fragments faster than humans alone would manage. Shared guidelines, a committed rules file, and the same review/test bar turn AI into a force for consistency instead of entropy. You keep individual productivity while protecting the one thing that makes a team faster than its members: a codebase everyone can read, trust, and maintain together.
