Three weeks after I said CLAUDE.md writes itself, it added 4 more rules without me

A thesis, three weeks later On April 28th, I published an article on DEV.to that made four claims about a CLAUDE.md file - the one that constrains the coding agent at each session - and ended with this sentence: "the CLAUDE.md is never finished, and that's precisely why it works" ( 4 incidents, 4 rules: how my CLAUDE.md wrote itself ). That was a thesis, not a metaphor. Three weeks passed. The file added four rules without me. What I mean is that I didn't write them on a day I sat down to write rules.
