SHAPR Framework Case Study: Structured AI-Assisted Solo Development Preserves Traceability When AI Generates Most Code

arXiv·low signal

A documented case study applies the SHAPR (Solo, Human-centred, AI-assisted PRactice) framework to building a modular share trading system, finding that rapid AI-assisted development weakens continuity, traceability, and methodological clarity without explicit structure. The case demonstrates how a structured working configuration can maintain research software quality when AI generates most of the code — relevant to any solo developer shipping with AI tools.
