create a instruction.md file with yaml like structure on top. put all the instructions you are giving repeatedly there. (eg: "a dev server is always running, just test your thing", "use uv", "never install anything outside of a venv") When you start a session, always emphasize this file as a holy bible to follow. Improves performance, and every few messages keep reminding. that yaml summary on top (see skills.md file for reference) is what these models are RLd on, so works better.

This should not really be necessary and is more of a workaround for bad patterns / prompting in my opinion.

I agree it's a workaround. Ideally the model should follow instructions directly, or check before running another server to see if it's starting. Though training cannot cover every usecase and different devs work differently, so i guess its acceptable as long as its on track and can do the work.
