Andrej Karpathy Skills

Andrej Karpathy's complaint about coding models is quoted at the top of the repository: they make wrong assumptions and run with them, they do not surface confusion or tradeoffs, they overcomplicate, and they edit code they do not understand. The answer here is one CLAUDE.md file holding four rules, Think Before Coding, Simplicity First, Surgical Changes and Goal-Driven Execution, each aimed at one of those failures. The last one carries the weight: turn fix the bug into write a test that reproduces it and make it pass, because a model can loop on its own once success is checkable. Install it as a Claude Code plugin from the marketplace or curl the file into a project, and a Cursor project rule ships in the same repository for people working there.
