> When coding style has been established

It feels like you're diminishing the parent commenter's views, reducing it to the perspective of style. Their comment didn't mention style.



Style = syntax, taste, architecture choices, etc. Things you would see on a 15-year-old Java app.

i.e. not a greenfield project.


Isn't coding style a solved problem with claude.md files or something?


You can control some simple things that way. But the subtle stylistic choices that many teams agree on are difficult to articulate clearly. Plus they don’t always do everything you tell them to in the prompts or rule files. Even when it’s extremely clear sometimes they just don’t. And often the thing you want isn’t clear.
