In my experience these things are very easily fixable by ai, I just ask it to follow the patterns found and conventions used in the code and it does that pretty well.

Still haven't found a good way to keep it on course other than "Hey, remember that thing that you're required to do? Still do that please."
Off the shelf agentic coding tools should be doing this for you.
At my company, I use them all the time with the fancy models and everything. Preplanning does not solve the problem they're describing.
When claude is doing a complex task, it will regularly lose track of the rules (in either the .rules stuff or CLAUDE.md) and break conventions.
It follows it most of the time, but not all of the time.
