> Is any of this standardization really needed?
This standardization, basically, makes a list of docs easier to scan.
As a human, you have a permanent memory. LLMs don't have it, they have to load it into the context, and doing it only as necessary can help.
E.g. if you had anterograde amnesia, you'd want everything to be optimally organized, labeled, etc, right? Perhaps an app which keeps all information handy.
Everybody wants that, though, no? At least some of the time?
For example, if you've just joined a new team or a new project, wouldn't you like to have extensive, well-organised documentation to help get you started?
This reminds me of the "curb-cut effect", where accommodations for disabilities can be beneficial for everybody: https://front-end.social/@stephaniewalter/115841555015911839
