looks like the claw slop is now trying to use arxiv as some way to boost their garbage

0. the paper is by a solo, unknown author
1. the arxiv page has a github link
2. the github project looks like all the other claw spam hitting GitHub and HN
4. the spam problem had already reached arxiv, they are now interconnected

yikes- fair points on being skeptical of arxiv quality, thats a real problem. IMO the content of the paper either holds up or it doesnt regardless of who wrote it

I agree, however the signal-to-noise ratio is the new problem, and there are some quick signals to easily classify some as noise

practical takeaway for builders: agent context docs seem to help only when they contain non-obvious project constraints, not generic rules. in my own workflows, the useful bits are things like failure patterns/edge cases or antipatterns ("don't do X") collected over time. this paper is a good reminder that context quality matters more than context volume.
