I have quite long CLAUDE.md file and claude code follows it almost all the time. When it was ignoring some instructions, i told it to update CLAUDE.md to make sure it does. It emphasized it with uppercase and IMPORTANT! ALWAYS DO ... and that make it work for me like 95% of the time. And I do this for multiple project with different CLAUDE.mds with similar results. I don't know why your experience differs so much.
