Agents will follow all of your markdown suggestions \u003cem\u003emost\u003c/em\u003e of the time, enough for you to become complacent if you let it.

SECOND get rid of bad inconsistent patterns, let them replicate consistency, force them to pass checks.  Agents will follow all of your markdown suggestions _most_ of the time, enough for you to become complacent if you let it.  They are goal seeking, if you put them to a task you thought was possible that is not given your constraints, they will try to find a way given enough tokens.
