When i first added "do not write comments" to my Claude.md, it started deleting all comments it came across. I yelled at it a bunch, eventually it got its md files aligned to where it's very clear: Claude does not write comments. Claude does not edit comments. Claude does not delete comments. Claude does not move comments. Only humans touch comments.

It's been working well for me for months now. If only I could convince the team to do it too
