It's called andrej-karpathy-skills.
Andrej Karpathy documented the exact ways LLMs fail at coding. Someone turned those observations into a single Claude config file.

Why it's great:
Claude Code makes the same mistakes on every project. It over-explains. It adds code you didn't ask for. It ignores constraints you set 3 prompts ago.
Most people just accept this as the baseline. Karpathy didn't.
He catalogued the failure patterns. This repo converts every one of them into a CLAUDE.md instruction that fixes the behavior at the source.
How to use it:
Drop the CLAUDE.md file into the root of any project. Claude reads it automatically on every session.
No prompt engineering on every request. No babysitting. The behavior changes once and stays changed.
One file. Every project.
