Guides and best practices for building software with LLMs, from the team at Codelitt.
These aren't theoretical. They come from shipping production software where Claude Code, codemode-x, and other LLM tools do a significant share of the implementation work. When something wastes tokens, breaks the feedback loop, or confuses the model, we write it down.
| Guide | What it covers |
|---|---|
| AI-native architecture | 9 principles for structuring codebases so LLMs can work in them effectively. Contracts, error handling, idempotency, file structure, and more. |
| Claude Code workflows | Practical setup and habits: planning mode, context-mode plugin, /documents/ folder, CLAUDE.md wiring, subagents, task tracking, and workflow orchestration rules. |
| The AI quality paradox | Why AI-assisted development needs more QA, not less. The math behind rework spirals, the speed limit on generation velocity, and what to do about it. Based on Mennillo 2026. |
Claude Code skills you can install as plugins or copy individually.
First add the marketplace. Inside Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add codelittinc/ai-native-development
Or from the CLI:
claude plugin marketplace add codelittinc/ai-native-development
Then install the plugins you want:
claude plugin install qa-check@ai-native-development
claude plugin install supply-chain-check@ai-native-development
Installed plugins receive updates when new versions are published.
Copy a skill folder from plugins/<name>/skills/<name>/ to ~/.claude/skills/ to use it without the plugin system.
| Skill | Command | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| qa-check | /qa-check |
Reviews code changes for rework risk, weakened or missing tests, dependency provenance, missing specs, AI slop, and validation gaps. Complements the built-in /code-review, which hunts correctness bugs. Based on the AI Quality Paradox research. |
| supply-chain-check | /supply-chain-check |
Single-command supply chain security audit. Queries live advisory sources (npm audit, OSV.dev, GitHub Advisory Database) and scans for dangerous version ranges, lock file issues, typosquatting, slopsquatting, and local IOC artifacts. |

Open an issue or PR. We're especially interested in:
- Patterns you've found that make LLM-assisted development faster or more reliable
- Anti-patterns that waste tokens or break feedback loops
- Real examples from production codebases (anonymized if needed)
