i see this first-hand; they don't even know what they don't know so they circle over and over with ai leading them down rabbit holes and code that breaks in weird ways they cant even guess how to fix... stuff that if you were a real programmer you would have wrote in a few minutes let alone hours or days...

Yea, giving people a blank Claude with no setup will get you that.
What you could do is encourage (or force with IT's assistance) them to use a prompt (or hook or whatever) that refuses to do work for them, but instead telling them where to change and what without actually doing the work.
