I use the AGENTS.md to show it how i want the code to look like. Something like "when implementing hooks adhere to the guidelines in docs/react-hooks.md". And then react-hooks describes your heuristics and what you consider best practices. There is a clear difference in code quality for me when using codex with a well crafted AGENTS.md vs. without one, you can run the experiment yourself pretty easily. As I mentioned in another comment, I think Claude poisoned users to stop relying on their Claude.md files and new codex users might be surprised at how well it adheres to guidelines.

Could be a problem with the harness also. In any case, I feel that it's a bit playing whac-a-mole with explicit rules for things that a more intelligent model should do by default.
