Do you really believe that if you miss the "Read Clean Code" or "Read Effective Typescript" part, then the output would be significantly different?

No offense, but I feel this kind of talking is ridiculous. If it is a better practice, then it should be done without explicitly telling so. You do not tell them "Do not get things wrong," right? If it is a matter of choice over design patterns, for example, use functional programming or object oriented programming paradigm, then it should be said more clearly as what I have done.

Now, if it is neither something that is definitely a better practice nor something you can state clearly with a known, well-defined word, how can you make sure what you have said really make a difference if you have not said it?

It works for me and I like the results I'm getting. The results often include callbacks to rules of thumb from the mentioned books - which I find easier to agree with or dismiss when I see the suggestions it made. In a way, it's a framework for me to "communicate" with the LLMs.

I think you should try finding what works for you, maybe even give my ridiculous prompt a go.
