It’s teaching them in the first place. You can’t teach an LLM. Writing a heap of AGENTS.md is not teaching. LLMs take it as information, but they don’t learn from it in any non-superficial sense.

With https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills you kinda can teach new things. And also, I have little doubt Anthropic reads these and future AIs might get trained on the most popular recommendations.

Yes, it's a crutch. But maybe the whole NNs that can code and we don't really know why is too.

>You can’t teach an LLM.

Actually you can. Training data, then the way you describe the task, goals, checkpoints, etc is still training.
