Common Bugs in Augment Code-Generated Code

Augment infers patterns from the codebase but can't fully understand the semantic intent behind each pattern, only its structural form. Monorepo dependency graphs are complex and Augment may not fully resolve cross-package constraints

Augment sometimes generates code that's stylistically consistent with the codebase but semantically wrong — using an existing utility function in a context it wasn't designed for, or following a pattern that's been partially deprecated. It can also struggle with monorepo package boundaries, generating imports that create circular dependencies or import across package boundaries incorrectly

Start by running your app through its complete user flow — sign up, use every feature, try edge cases like empty inputs and invalid data. Most Augment Code bugs surface when you go off the happy path. Use your browser's developer tools to watch for console errors, failed network requests, and unhandled promise rejections. TypeScript's strict mode will catch many issues at compile time if it's not already enabled.

For async errors, wrap every server-side operation in try/catch blocks and return meaningful error messages. For state bugs, consider whether the state belongs in the URL, in a server component, or in client state — Augment Code often defaults to client state when server state would be more appropriate. For data fetching issues, implement proper loading and error states for every data-dependent component.

The best way to prevent Augment Code bugs from reaching production: enable TypeScript strict mode, add ESLint rules for common mistakes (no-floating-promises, exhaustive-deps), and write tests for critical user flows. Even basic smoke tests catch the majority of issues.
