alt Hacker NewsI have Claude itself write CLAUDE.md. Once it is informed of its context (e.g., "README.md is for users, CLAUDE.md is for you") you can say things like, "update readme and claudemd" and it will do it. I find this especially useful for prompts like, "update claudemd to make absolutely certain that you check the API docs every single time before making assumptions about its behavior" — I don't need to know what magick spell will make that happen, just that it does happen.
Do you have any proof that AI written instructions are better than human ones? I don't see why an AI would have an innate understanding on how best to prompt itself.
