I use a multimodal approach to defining my spec: different layers of criteria for how the software looks, behaves, what it produces, and under what constraints.

For the literal code:

• A healthy cocktail of /WX + /Wall, plus clang-tidy with very few suppressions

• An extremely opinionated mix of clang-format and LLM-generated bespoke formatting that AST-based tools cant express

• Hungarian notation; all stack locals pre-hoisted, declared in order of appearance, and separated from subsequent assignments

• Enforced dataflow: all memory accesses are bounded independent of branch resolution, with only data-oblivious indexing

• Functions have a single point of return

In a C89 workflow, this pushes agents to produce code where wrong business/domain decisions are unmistakably obvious, while eliminating the vast majority of bug classes before I ever read it.

So yeah, Ill reassert 80%, if not more.
