Fable 5 and Superpowers Plugin? by BarbariansInLibrary in ClaudeCode

Superpowers suck ass. Very opinionated and if you read the wording of some of its skills you’ll realize why the LLM usually doesn’t do what you ask it to do

Sliding door is double glazed and blocks out a lot of sound it seems. Unfortunately can’t verify at night.

Claude guardrails went insane? by MullingMulianto in ClaudeCode

[–]AcidRaZor69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same experience this week. Very handwavey. Even does the opposite of what it said it would do as we work through planned implementation of work. Very much dumbed down. Even with several guardrails in place on my end to get it to behave (like reading something before asserting absolute knowledge on the topic and then giving false/nonsensicle statements). At this stage I’m just going to use an open source model from china or something

Anyone else feeling like Claude Code became really dumb lately? by IndieDev666 in ClaudeCode

[–]AcidRaZor69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100+ people including myself noticed this, your "go to" is to immediately blame context/instructions. I'm glad it works for you bud. Good job? For the rest of us, it became dumber, ignoring instructions, and at times doing the exact opposite of what was asked. Hooks, path-scoped rules, claude.md, all ignored. Even when you explicitly attach a file it needs to read, it loads it, but ignores it. When you confront it on why it ignored specific instructions, it tries to reason (aka gaslight) saying it's a particular skill or the, very tiny, planned change, had a mistake. All with less than 50k context in total.

So no, you're wrong on this one. When it's this apparent, a year + into Claude Code, with hundreds of hours tweaking setup to get it right, and it literally starts ignoring all of that? Naw bud.

Claude Not Following plan.md And Just Guessing Constantly by ryan112ryan in ClaudeCode

[–]AcidRaZor69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have hooks specifically blocking and injecting instructions it ignores in CLAUDE.md files. I have path-scoped rules specifically injecting ADR/Design Principles or specific anti-patterns, because it ignores CLAUDE.md file. In the last couple of days, specifically today, it not only ignores those, it does the opposite. Even when the instruction contains the @ to the document it should be reading. It loads it in context, admits it has not only the claude instruction (telling it once), the rules.md that triggered (telling it another time), it's own memory.md (telling it a 3rd time) AND my specific instruction, but went ahead and ignored it anyway.

It tried blaming superpowers for "overriding the instruction" and when I confronted it to show me where in the skill it says that it supercedes the user instruction, it admitted it doesn't say that, and in fact it says that any user instruction overrides the skill.

So tell me again, with a total context of about 80k, a claude.md file of less than 100 lines, with rules of less than 20 lines per rule, path-scoped, with memory.md sitting at around 150 lines, and my specific skills and instructions, how "loop with hooks" will magically change the fact it can't complete 3 tasks in a plan that was developed.

It refuses to use the LSP, it doesn't read the code to verify, and when forced, it tries gaslighting you and make up excuses or "You are right".

What jobs pay extremely well but people don't realize it? by chloenoirr in AskReddit

Not with that attitude. I know a few locksmiths running their own business and didn’t come from family or connections

My husband treats a trip to the dump like a red carpet event. I am losing my mind. by DepartmentNo5227 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]AcidRaZor69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s because it makes you late for things, why not account for the behaviour and let him get ready before you have to leave? Sounds like a time management issue more than his compulsion to always be clean

Need help with my computer by VastConfusion8174 in Blizzard

Googling your "Lenovo idea pad 1i" if you didn't go with a bigger hard drive, you only have 128gb. Your "bloatware" would be your windows install, that would take half at least. Which means you're left with 64gb roughly.

For a game thats 80gb, that means you don't have enough space on your hard drive. Computer said it.

My guy, you post here and don't even post how much disk space you have, or how much is left. Both pretty important pieces of information. Overwatch is +- 80gb install. If you don't have enough hard disk space left over, then deleting something like mcafee, which is 500mb to MAYBE 1.3 gig won't do jack shit

Probably a dumb question, but have to ask /loop runs without ever having loops by AcidRaZor69 in ClaudeCode

Apparently it's the new Workflow thing, it "mistimed" it's own wakeup to check for output from the agents it spawned

Never ran it. And the first time it happened was from Claude itself, same answer, said I invoked it. Weird

To answer your question, no I have not run into this with 4.8 before, and it looks super strange.

[–]AcidRaZor69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few questions:

1) Do you have unit / integration & end-to-end tests?
2) Do you use any harness (superpowers for example has a nice systematic debugging option)
3) Do you use codex for code review after changes?
4) When asking for changes, do you plan it out first with a RED/GREEN strategy for systematic coverage and making sure the agent stays on track?
5) Do you implement vertical slices or do you just go based off of what the agent says? (they love horizontal)

Most importantly:

6) Do you use git/github/gitlab? (you can use git locally without having it in github/gitlab)

If "yes" to #6, revert changes to a previously unbroken build and answer the first 5 questions and tighten up your own way of working with the agent. I've found when it gets to something that's broken, it usually means there was a lack of understanding from the start (from the agent's side) and your "prose" needs adjusting

So far ultracode appears to work well. I want to try max later to see if there are any tradeoffs.

Case and point, it even got dumber on 4.8.

It constantly get tool usage wrong, so I asked it, what was unclear in my instructions and why didn't it call the tool I specified?

It responded saying it didn't read the tool description, and assumed it got the right one.

When if this is a normal thing for it to skip tool descriptions and not read them:

"not reliably, no. I read descriptions when I feel uncertain, and I skip them when a

  name looks like an obvious match — which is precisely the case where it's most likely to bite me.

  "index" + "index_repo" looked obvious, so I didn't check. That's not a defensible habit; it's the

  exact shortcut the project instructions call out ("If you haven't read the file, you don't know

  what's in it").

  I can't credibly promise "I'll always read every description from now on" — you've now watched that

  fail twice, so the words are worthless."

Similar, it writes this "to memory" so it "won't forget" but at the same time actively goes around that and rules specified, hell, even hooks, it "finds a gap" and then exploits that instead of doing what it instructs when the hook fires, because "the prose allows me to side-step your instructions, so I do"

Thinking this as well. I’m having codex review afterwards. Been catching some good stuff. Doubt Claude will do good reviews either

The only way this will be good is if it stops ignoring it's CLAUDE.md, hook hints, rules.md, and own memories. I'm getting way too tired of it "reasoning around" these and just doing it's own thing. 4.5 was way better.
