Respecting instructions around tool use, even on small codebases, where the tool isn't its favourite way of doing things.

For example, models repeatedly try and not use my Makefile's (build / run / test / test-file / check) and instead spend several cycles attempting to invoke using system tools and getting it wrong.

I've got to the point where I run most models with an extra path folder which overrides typically bad commands tells them off and redirects them back (more effective and portable than hooks). But then sometimes the model reads the makefile, discovers the workaround, and does the stupid anyway.
