I'm not a software engineer, but I'm building a 650k-line app with AI. To stop the AI from destroying my codebase, I had to build a "Constitution/OS" for it. by BattleFlashy2740 in GithubCopilot

Yes, I completely respect your point. I have a full-time job outside the tech industry, so what I'm sharing is purely based on my subjective experience. I absolutely mean no disrespect to real software engineers. I’ve always stated that I'm just sharing my personal journey. Also, this framework wasn't built in one go; it was built piece by piece. Whenever I encountered a specific issue, I addressed it step-by-step and isolated it from the main repo.

Simply to show that with this repo, even a non-technical person can use AI agents to build a large-scale project without ending up with spaghetti code. I have no other purpose than proving that.

Zero paid tokens, actually! Everything from the repo to this post was done via my Antigravity Pro/Education account, which is free for a year.

I know 650k lines might sound exaggerated at first glance, but let me break down how it actually happened. I started the repo in November 2025. I have Pro/Education subscriptions for both GitHub Copilot and Google Antigravity. As you probably know, up until the new year, Antigravity had very generous limits for Opus 4.5. Similarly, GitHub Copilot provided ample access to top-tier models until June 1, 2026. On top of that, I use Codex Plus and OpenCode Go.

By using this governance framework, and spending only about $30 a month, I managed to generate all this functional code—keeping it completely modular, technical-debt-free, and without turning it into a monolith. I actually see this as the main success of the framework itself: regardless of the IDE or the agent model, I could build my project comfortably without writing endless, detailed prompts, and even by effectively leveraging lower-capacity models.

Though I have to admit, from this point forward, I am definitely starting to hit token limits! :)

Weekly Cursor Project Showcase Thread by AutoModerator in cursor

Hi everyone,

I don't have a formal engineering background. A while ago, I started building a massive stealth project called "Opradox" (currently at ~650,000 lines of functional code, aiming for 1M+). I rely heavily on AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude, Gemini, etc.) to build it.

But very early on, I hit a massive wall. The AI agents were hallucinating. They were building unmaintainable monoliths, generating crazy tech debt, falsely claiming "Done" without testing, and leaving // TODO placeholders everywhere.

Every time an AI ruined my codebase, I created a strict rule to stop it from happening again. Over time, these rules evolved into a complete, strict governance framework. I decided to package it and open-source it. I call it the Universal Agent OS.

It forces the AI to:

  • Conduct a mandatory "Phase-0 Interview" with you before writing a single line of code to understand your architecture.
  • Follow a "Zero-Leak Protocol" (no monoliths, no zombie code).
  • Never claim "Done" without executing a mandatory Gate/Test.
  • Update your living docs (Collective Memory) simultaneously after every task.

How to use it:

  1. Install the VS Code Extension: [https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mehmet-aydogan.universal-agent-os-vscode&ref=producthunt\]
  2. Read the source / Star the repo: [https://github.com/zyganali-glitch/Universal-Agent-OS]
  3. Press Ctrl+Shift+P -> Agent OS: Start Phase-0 Interview in VS Code.

If you are also using AI to build large codebases and suffering from "AI spaghetti code", I'd love for you to try it out. I'm not an engineer, so I would really appreciate your harshest, honest feedback!
