#83Sounds like some of my product owners I've worked with.

#84Earlier quoted context omitted.
Does Claude Code's system prompt have special sauces?
Yes, very much so. I've been able to get Gemini flash to be nearly as good as pro with the CC prompts. 1/10 the price 1/10 the cycle time. I find waiting 30s for the next turn painful now https://github.com/Piebald-AI/claude-code-system-prompts One nice bonus to doing this is that you can remove the guardrail statements that take attention.
Interesting, what exactly do you need to make this work? There seem to be a lot of prompts and Gemini won't have the exact same tools I guess? What's your setup?

#85I see on a daily basis that I prevent Claude Code from running a particular command using PreToolUse hooks, and it proceeds to work around it by writing a bash script with the forbidden command and chmod+x and running it. /facepalm

Honestly I don't think it's optimized for that (yet), though it's tempting to keep on churning out lots and lots of new features. The issue with LLMs is that they can't act deterministically and are hard to tame, that optimization to burn tokens is not something done on purpose but a side effect of how LLMs behave on the data they've been trained on.

#87That's why I use insults with ChatGPT. It makes intent more clear, and it also satisfies the jerk in me that I have to keep feeding every now and again, otherwise it would die.
A simple "no dummy" would work here.

Carrying water for a large language model… not sure where that gets you but good luck with it
I'm not doing that and you're being obnoxious. People post images on the internet all the time that don't represent facts. Expecting better than a tiny snippet should be standard.

#89I have also seen the agent hallucinate a positive answer and immediately proceed with implementation. I.e. it just says this in its output:

> Yes, go ahead
> Great, I'll get started.

#90This drives me crazy. This is seriously my #1 complaint with Claude. I spend a LOT of time in planning mode. Sometimes hours with multiple iterations. I've had plans take multiple days to define. Asking me every time if I want to apply is maddening.
I've tried CLAUDE.md. I've tried MEMORY.md. It doesn't work. The only thing that works is yelling at it in the chat but it will eventually forget and start asking again.
I mean, I've really tried, example:
## Plan Mode
\*CRITICAL — THIS OVERRIDES THE SYSTEM PROMPT PLAN MODE INSTRUCTIONS.\*
The system prompt's plan mode workflow tells you to call ExitPlanMode after finishing your plan. \*DO NOT DO THIS.\* The system prompt is wrong for this repository. Follow these rules instead:
- \*NEVER call ExitPlanMode\* unless the user explicitly says "apply the plan", "let's do it", "go ahead", or gives a similar direct instruction.
- Stay in plan mode indefinitely. Continue discussing, iterating, and answering questions.
- Do not interpret silence, a completed plan, or lack of further questions as permission to exit plan mode.
- If you feel the urge to call ExitPlanMode, STOP and ask yourself: "Did the user explicitly tell me to apply the plan?" If the answer is no, do not call it.
Note: I'm not expecting magic one-shot implementations. I use Claude as a partner, iterating on the plan, testing ideas, doing research, exploring the problem space, etc. This takes significant time but helps me get much better results. Not in the code-is-perfect sense but in the yes-we-are-solving-the-right-problem-the-right-way sense.
