What's Wrong?
Claude Code doesn't reliably follow CLAUDE.md rules even when they're clearly written. it was clearly written "never guess or aqssume". i asked cloud why were you wrong and the answer was: "I guessed the column names (lesson_name, clip_name) instead of checking the actual table schema first"
What Should Happen?
claude should check what are the column names before creating the sql statement
