Contract-First as Protection Against LLM Agents: API-First Returns to Keep Frontend and Backend Aligned
The author describes the problem of project degradation when using LLM agents for development: agents often ignore the actual contracts between frontend and backend, creating dummy data and leading to runtime errors. The solution is to return to the contract-first approach, where the OpenAPI specification is the primary artifact from which server interfaces and clients are generated, making any deviation from the contract a compilation error.
