Claude may need reminders to follow project instructions
Claude may not always apply saved on its own. This can force people to remind it during the chat to check those instructions before answering.
The issue s when Claude is used as a coding helper, because project rules often cover style, structure, and things to avoid. The main point is simple: saved guidance is useful, but it may still need an explicit reminder.
Key points
- Claude may overlook saved .
- People may need to explicitly ask it to check those instructions.
