I've been building https://github.com/kstenerud/yoloai entirely by AI, and what I've found helped is to make the AI keep solid documentation:

- Document the purpose

- Document the research

- Document the design

- Document the architecture

- Document the plans

- Document the implementation

Also put in documentation that summarizes the important things so that you understand broadly the why and how, and where to look for more detailed information.

This documentation not only makes your agent consume less tokens, it also makes it easier for YOU to keep your head above water!

The only annoying thing is that the AI will often forget to update docs, but as long as you remember to tell it to update things from time to time, it won't drift too far. Regular hygiene is key.
