AI needs enforcement.

The breaking point was Auto Compact. After context compression, Claude consistently ignores CLAUDE.md - the very file Anthropic tells you to create. It's like hiring someone who forgets their job description every 2 hours.

Core issues I couldn't solve with instructions alone:

- Post-compact amnesia: "interprets" previous session, often destructively

- Session memory loss: asks the same questions like a new intern daily

- TODO epidemic: "I implemented it!" (narrator: it was just a TODO)

- Command chaos: rm -rf, repetitive curl prompts, git commits with "by Claude"

- Guidelines = suggestions: follows them... when it feels like it

After 6 months struggling with this, I built enforcement hooks (command restrictor, auto-summarizer before compact, TODO detector, commit validator). They work, but I feel like I'm working against the tool rather than with it.

Questions for the community:

1. Is this everyone's experience, or am I using Claude Code fundamentally wrong?

2. For those on Cursor/Copilot/etc - same enforcement issues?

3. Is "markdown guidelines → AI follows them" just... not viable at scale?

The hooks are on GitHub (mostly Korean but universally functional):

Really curious if this is a universal AI coding problem or a skill issue on my end.
