I feel like these posts are interesting, but become irrelevant quickly. Does anyone actually follow these as guides, or just consume them as feedback for how we wish we could interface with LLMs and the workarounds we currently use?

Right now these are reading like a guide to prolog in the 1980s.

Given that this space is so rapidly evolving, these kinds of posts are helpful just to make sure you aren't missing anything big. I've caught myself doing something the hard way after reading one of these. In this case, the framing is basically man pages for CLIs was a helpful description of sills that gives me some ideas about how to improve interaction with an in-house CLI my co. uses.

I wouldn't use as a guide necessarily, but I would use as a way to sync my own findings and see if I have missed something important.

I wouldn't say I follow them as guides, but I think the field is changing quickly enough that it's good, or at least interesting, to read what's working well for other people.

This one is already out of date. The bit on the top about allocating space in CLAUDE.md for each tool is largely a waste of tokens these days. Use the skills feature.
