Today, I don't have advice or answers. On my mind today is a problem, I don't really have a good handle on. May be people here have ideas on this.
For a very large org, it is very very hard to mandate how Engineers should standardize their use of Claude Code/Cursor/Codex.
Largely because everyone's skill and comfort level is different and thus, some folks are advanced and comfortable with automating their own workflows while others do not yet know that there is a better/easier path forward.
This becomes an even bigger issue when Security Teams want to make sure Agents follow security best practices. And Frontend Teams want to make sure Agents use correct Frontend Dev practices (use correct tokens/icon standards etc.), so on and so forth.
This ultimately results in lots of Cursor/Claude Rules or MCP Tools checked into mono-repos available for everyone to use but without any heads up that these rules are being added. Keep in mind, these Rules/MCP Tools are added to establish a consistent Agentic Experience for most of the Engineers. Which is a noble goal, but their presence is largely invisible to almost everyone. How many of us actually run /context on a regular basis to keep an eye on things loading into our context.
And Anthropic making 1M context size standard is adding fuel to this fire, because token count from Tools/Rules slowly builds up and you won't even notice a 2% increment to total window size.
How are people who work in very large organizations and mono-repos are handling this issue? How do we be transparent when adding these rules so advanced users are not blindsided while also allow newcomers to automatically have a standardized Agentic experience.
