You can also create per-project agents with specific "expertise" in different parts of the code.

Basically they're just few kilobytes of text that's given as extra context to "explore" agents when looking at specific parts of the code.

How does one do this?

I have trouble making Claude even follow CLAUDE.md. Like, it just ignores it, and when it needs to do a task (like testing or running a certain command native to the code base), it does a lot of "find" and "ls" an so on to understand what to run, and frequently runs commands with the wrong flags, badly escaped input etc.

I think Claude could work a lot better (and waste vastly fewer tokens) if it had small bite-size instructions for various tasks ("to run the integration test suite, run "cargo run integration_tests..."), but so far I've been unable to control it.
