Surely you've noticed that the vast majority of engineers are using LLM-powered tooling such as Claude Code to assist their development process nowadays.

Adding a Markdown file to the default project structure that will significantly improve the experience for this majority of developers seems like an obvious win, and doesn't make me feel like anyone is trying to "force LLM crap" on me.

I understand your reluctance to engage with this stuff (I held a similar position for a while) but your comment here reads as "old man yells at cloud".

I’m fine yelling at the cloud that steals all knowledge, water, and is a game of chance to see if you will get a good result.

If that majority is ok with spending money before achieving anything it’s on them.

It shouldn’t be the default. But if it’s only if it sees another binary that’s “fine” but I’m not a fan of a tool that looks for others. It should keep to their side.
