An agent building a Blender scene can't see the viewport, so every claim it makes about clipping, contact, scale or motion has to be measured.

AI-assisted PRs keep landing with the wrong CSS framework and no tests because the contributor's tool never saw your project's standards. CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md put them in the tool's context before it writes a line.
