The CLAUDE.md at the root of that repo says, in plain English, on line eleven: never modify migration files without explicit approval. The session loads the file. Claude reads the rule. Claude modifies a migration file fourteen minutes later.
What the field is teaching, and where it stops
I went back through the most-trafficked CLAUDE.md articles on Medium from the last six months. Not to dunk on anyone. To look for the gap. The advice clusters into two dominant patterns and one good outlier, and almost every new piece is a remix.
Pattern one is the personal business OS. A solo operator publishes a beautiful directory structure. There is a decisions/ folder. There is a priorities/ folder. There is a meetings/notes/ folder with date-prefixed transcripts. The author runs it for themselves and the system clearly works for them. I have read at least eight versions of this article. Every published example is one person operating on their own machine.
