Claude completely ignoring folder structure this week
This week, my token usage jumped, and the quality of responses plummeted. Then, I started asking directly if it read and/or followed the folder's Cluade.md and Context.md. I've attached the response. Anyone else having this problem?
—edit (IMPORTANT)—
Impossible to know for sure, but my research/testing over the weekend strongly suggests an update to Claude desktop last week likely raised the temperature at which Co-Work sends your requests to the Claude API, so it gets loosely-goosey with your folder structure’s governance (to the point of ignoring most of it, regardless of model, regardless of how strict the wording).
If you need more deterministic/ governance-driven usage of your folder structure (=more consistent, predictable outcomes), use Claude Code, whose temperature set to 0.0 by default for maximally deterministic coding.
If you want more creative/interpretive/random outcomes, go with Co-work.
