I tell the agent to NEVER write comments in the system prompt and it ignore it like 90% of the time. RLHF is a helluva drug.
What models are you using? I've had "Never add any new code comments" in my system prompts for like a year at this point, seems every model above 14B picks this up just fine. Are you using llama 7b or similar for testing this?
Pretty much Opus 5 exclusively.
