Both human and AI should be able to understand the "way we do things around here" by reading the existing code. I could spend an hour telling someone how to write idiomatic code, and they will forget all of it until they actually do some work and see the codebase.

When Claude reads a significant portion of my codebase into context it should be suggesting idiomatic changes. Even if it doesn't initially read a bunch of the codebase to figure out a solution, it should definitely then be trained to do so explicitly to understand the coding standards. Just like a decent dev would do on their own.
