How do you make sure AI-generated code stays aligned with your intended architecture?

I've noticed that AI-generated code (e.g. Codex) can sometimes drift away from the original architectural intent of a project.

If the drift isn't caught early, it can accumulate over time and become increasingly difficult to correct.

How do you make sure AI-generated code stays aligned with your intended architecture?

Do you already have a workflow or tool that works well for this?

Or is this something you're still struggling with?

Or has it simply not been a problem for you?

As your project grows, what's the most frustrating part of working with Codex?

As my project has grown, I've started to feel that maintaining a clear mental model of the entire codebase is becoming increasingly difficult.
At the same time, it also feels harder to fully understand what Codex is doing and why it's making certain changes, especially when tasks span multiple files or components.
I'm curious if others have experienced something similar.
How do you deal with it?
Have you found any workflows, tools, or habits that help?

I built a tool that turns an idea into an actionable visual roadmap

Sometimes an idea feels impossible, not because it actually is, but because it's buried under a lot of assumptions.

We often estimate the difficulty of a goal before we understand the path.

A few incorrect assumptions can make something seem far more difficult than it really is.

I wanted a way to make that path visible.

Architecture and refactoring never went away — AI just accelerated the process… so I built this to visualize codebases

Using AI (Codex, etc.) made coding way faster.

But this isn’t new — projects were always going to get messy as they grow: architecture drift, unclear structure, harder to reason about.

AI just makes it happen faster.

At some point, your system evolves faster than your mental model. That’s when you need to step back and refactor.

So I built a tool to visualize codebase structure — so you can quickly see if things are still aligned.

I call it Clear Arch — a tool that maps your project’s structure from files and dependencies into an expandable graph.

I’m also thinking about exposing it through MCP in the future, so agents could call it while working and show you the current architecture of the codebase.

If you're building software, this might be useful:

Currently supports JS / TS / JSX / TSX / HTML projects for now.

I built a platform for cross-cultural friendships and language exchange

I built Serendilang, a platform for making cross-cultural friendships and language exchange connections.

You can text, voice call, or video chat with people from around the world.

You can also make posts to introduce yourself and connect with others internationally.

Above is a short demo video.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Website: https://serendilang.com

Registration currently requires an invitation code.

Invitation code: 948390

The platform is still evolving, so feedback and bug reports are always welcome 😄
