> we know that creating CLAUDE.md or cursorrules basically does nothing

While I agree, the only cases where I actually created something barely resembling useful (while still of subpar quality) was only after putting in CLAUDE.md lines like:

YOUR AIM IS NOT TO DELIVER A PROJECT. YOU AIM IS TO DO DEEP, REPETITIVE E2E TESTING. ONLY E2E TESTS MATTER. BE EXTREMELY PESSIMISTIC. NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING WORKS. ALWAYS CHECK EVERY FEATURE IN AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT WAYS. USE ONLY E2E TESTS, NEVER USE OTHER TYPES OF TEST. BE EXTREMELY PESSIMISTIC. NEVER TRUST ANY CODE UNLESS YOU DEEPLY TEST IT E2E

REMEMBER, QUICK DELIVERY IS MEANINGLESS, IT'S NOT YOUR AIM. WORK VERY SLOWLY, STEP BY STEP. TAKE YOUR TIME AND RE-VERIFY EACH STEP. BE EXTREMELY PESSIMISTIC

With this kind of setup, it kind attempts to work in a slightly different way than it normally does and is able to build some very basic stuff although frankly I'd do it much better so not sure about the economics here. Maybe for people who don't care or won't be maintaining this code it doesn't matter but personally I'd never use it in my workplace.

My cynical working theory is this kind of thing basically never works but sometimes it just happens to coincide with useful code.

omg imagine giving these instructions to a junior developer to accompany his task.
