>> In my experience it's the opposite - the model's design decisions always try to add complexity, even when it's not necessary.

This happens if the model does not have good context regarding what is being built, why and for whom.

For one of my side projects, my CLAUDE.md has a line that says "the users of this product will be non-technical people who find technology scary." And you know what? Claude always steers me away from complexity when working on that project.
