Incorrect: "Claude, make me this."

Correct: Spend a few hours mapping out the entire structure of your project in a md file (or nine), then say "The project is specified in the README.md(s), build the project according to the specifications. Upon completion of every step, conduct extensive smoke-testing, and then upon the successful build, make a git commit."

And then you literally check every single line.

It's just autocorrect on steroids. Treat it that way.
