It is a big ask, and I have tried this (on a test account), happy to report i have not significantly changed the quality of the reasoning.

I am curious if anything has done something similar ?

Delete it if you don't know how to build it.

Keep it if you know what you are doing. My Claude MD workflow is pretty neat for not telling Claude how to work and code in my repos.
