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.
