The Claude MD is like the documentation you hand to a new engineer on your team that explains details about your code that they wouldn't otherwise know. It's not bad to need one.

Thanks for the advice! Could you please share how did you enable voice transcription for your setup and what it actually is?
I use https://github.com/braden-w/whispering with an OpenAI api key. I use a keyboard shortcut to start and stop recording and it will put the transcription into the clipboard so I can paste into any app. It's a huge productivity boost - OP is correct about not overthinking trying to be that coherent - the models are very good at knowing what you mean (Opus 4.5 with Claude Code in my case)
Hey, Boris from the Claude Code team here. A few tips: 1. If there is anything Claude tends to repeatedly get wrong, not understand, or spend lots of tokens on, put it in your CLAUDE.md. Claude automatically reads this file and it’s a great way to avoid repeating yourself. I add to my team’s CLAUDE.md multiple times a week. 2. Use Plan mode (press shift-tab 2x). Go back and forth with Claude until you like the plan b…

Does the same happens if I create an AGENTS.md instead?

You might be misunderstanding what a CLAUDE.md is. It’s not about fighting the model, rather it’s giving the model a shortcut to get the context it needs to do its work. You don’t have to have one. Ours is 100% written by Claude itself.
I find all AI code to be lower quality than humans who care about quality. This might be ok, I think the assumpt with AI is that we don't need to look at code so that it looks beautiful because AI will look at it .

But that documentation shouldn’t need to be updated nearly every other day.

Often the challenge is users aren't interacting with Claude Code about their rules file. If Claude Code doesn't seem to be working with you ask it why it ignore a rule. Often times it provides very useful feedback to adjust the rules and no longer violate them.
Another piece of advice I can give is to clear your context window often! Early in my start in this I was letting the context window auto compact but this is bad! Your model is it's freshest and "smartest" when it has a fresh context window.

One other feature with CLAUDE.md I’ve found useful is imports: prepending @ to a file name will force it to be imported into context. Otherwise, whether a file is read and loaded to context is dependent on tool use and planning by the agent (even with explicit instructions like “read file.txt”). Of course this means you have to be judicial with imports.
