I laughed a good 20 seconds at this, and even typing Clod makes me chuckle. This is great, can you please provide us with more guidance of the sort? I wanna laugh a bit at my LLM.

Thanks, it makes me chuckle too. It also serves as an indicator of how much it's adhering to what I've laid out in the file, sorta like how Van Halen's rider specified a bowl of M&Ms with all the brown ones removed — if the band found brown M&Ms, they'd know to tell the crew to double-check everything else the venue is supposed to provide; if Clod starts using 1st-person pronouns, then I'm a little more skeptical of what it's presenting as absolute truth...

Unfortunately I don't think I have any other funny suggestions. I do ask Clod to always follow a specific format when it's authoring Git commits including the "robot face" emoji as the first character, which brings a little levity to a commit history when it's otherwise being very serious about the contents of the commit message.

Thank you. The rest of the file is much more serious. I’ve now instructed Clod to consider passing TypeScript compilation and linting successes as “suspicious glitches”.
