Mark Osborne built a Claude automation tool to handle routine tasks, then changed his workflow without updating the program's instructions. The mismatch caused the automation to run incorrectly and waste time. He learned that keeping automation instructions in sync with actual processes is critical.
And there's a great example, even just myself. I built a little Claude cowork program that runs and it does some tasks for me. And I changed how I do it because I just started thinking, oh, you know, it'd be slightly better if I do this. And then the next week when it runs all these processes, they're all because I'm like, no, that's the old way because I didn't go and update the instructions. Whereas if I had a process for updating the instructions, it would've run correctly and saved me all that time and effort. Yeah.
