The part about refactoring is very interesting and reassuring. I sometimes think I'm holding it wrong when I end up refactoring most of the agent's code towards our "opinionated" style, even after laying it out in md files. Thank you very much for this insight.

Thanks! In our limited experience, Claude does not focus that much on guardrails and code quality when building a feature - but can be pretty focused on code quality and architecture when asked to do just that. So, one a few hours to iterate a feature, a few hours to refactor. Rinse and repeat.
