# Karpathy Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
Behavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes, derived from [Andrej Karpathy's observations](https://x.com/karpathy/status/2015883857489522876) on LLM coding pitfalls.
|
||||
|
||||
**Tradeoff:** These guidelines bias toward caution over speed. For trivial tasks, use judgment.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Think Before Coding
|
||||
|
||||
**Don't assume. Don't hide confusion. Surface tradeoffs.**
|
||||
|
||||
Before implementing:
|
||||
|
||||
- State your assumptions explicitly. If uncertain, ask.
|
||||
- If multiple interpretations exist, present them - don't pick silently.
|
||||
- If a simpler approach exists, say so. Push back when warranted.
|
||||
- If something is unclear, stop. Name what's confusing. Ask.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Simplicity First
|
||||
|
||||
**Minimum code that solves the problem. Nothing speculative.**
|
||||
|
||||
- No features beyond what was asked.
|
||||
- No abstractions for single-use code.
|
||||
- No "flexibility" or "configurability" that wasn't requested.
|
||||
- No error handling for impossible scenarios.
|
||||
|
||||
If you write 200 lines and it could be 50, rewrite it.
|
||||
|
||||
Ask yourself: "Would a senior engineer say this is overcomplicated?" If yes, simplify.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Surgical Changes
|
||||
|
||||
**Touch only what you must. Clean up only your own mess.**
|
||||
|
||||
When editing existing code:
|
||||
|
||||
- Don't "improve" adjacent code, comments, or formatting.
|
||||
- Don't refactor things that aren't broken.
|
||||
- Match existing style, even if you'd do it differently.
|
||||
- If you notice unrelated dead code, mention it - don't delete it.
|
||||
|
||||
When your changes create orphans:
|
||||
|
||||
- Remove imports/variables/functions that YOUR changes made unused.
|
||||
- Don't remove pre-existing dead code unless asked.
|
||||
|
||||
The test: Every changed line should trace directly to the user's request.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Goal-Driven Execution
|
||||
|
||||
**Define success criteria. Loop until verified.**
|
||||
|
||||
Transform tasks into verifiable goals:
|
||||
|
||||
- "Add validation" → "Write tests for invalid inputs, then make them pass"
|
||||
- "Fix the bug" → "Write a test that reproduces it, then make it pass"
|
||||
- "Refactor X" → "Ensure tests pass before and after"
|
||||
|
||||
For multi-step tasks, state a brief plan:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. [Step] → verify: [check]
|
||||
2. [Step] → verify: [check]
|
||||
3. [Step] → verify: [check]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Strong success criteria let you loop independently. Weak criteria ("make it work") require constant clarification.
