Makes me think of how my Claude.md files specifies to use the built in framework code-generators (rails). Those generators are deterministically right every time.

I wonder how often the Agent actually follows the guidance. I do see them follow it when I look. But it doesn't seem so every time.

This is tricky since it can and will ignore your md directions. When possible I try to lean on tool call hooks or skills that invoke deterministic scripts. As much as you can remove the "choice" the better though still there's a lot of randomness in how reliably it invokes skills ime.

Hooks are incredibly underused by most people and are the easiest way to establish a first line of defense against bad behavior. Things like blocking tool calls that will read .env file or execute "create or replace table".

im implementing this now. thanks. the guides specify the exact intention of more determinism.
