When not to use an AI coding tool

Do not let an agent near production secrets, production data dumps, or a repo you do not understand well enough to review. If you cannot read the diff, you cannot ship the diff.

Skip agents for one-line CSS. Tab completion is enough. Save Claude Code for migrations you can describe.

Regulated medical or financial advice in app copy is still on you. Kiln will not rank tools as doctors or brokers.

If the “tool” is a cracked IDE, you are not saving $20. You are installing malware.
