Similar experience here. I had to keep steering LLMs to "here are pristine bare clones; make worktrees based on them" instead of:

  • cloning into /tmp
  • cloning locally, working in the main repo
  • cloning locally, working in worktrees it makes

Not to mention ignoring my preferred directory layout and duplicating, collapsing, or just completely ignoring the relative paths i wanted to use.

Yeah, exactly. These things still need firm hand-holding and tool-gating. How can they talk about "alignment as in not taking over the world and killing everybody" problems when they can't even basic "don't behave as if nothing is space-, time- or compute-limited" right?

In that vein, my favorite anti-pattern, is "find / -path …".
