[Feature Request] Improve instruction adherence and reduce need for excessive prompt engineering workarounds

Bug Description
Not happy with the memories - they are useless. In reality they provide a false sense of security. Further, skills seem to be optional as well. Claude seems to recommend more and more rules just so there is more to ignore. Half of my build time is trying to harness claude's behaviro because it can't follow basic instructions beyond what it is coded for. It is an amazing paltform for sure. Still very much using a fire hose to fill a glass of water
