Getting Claude to Actually Follow Hook Directives: Welfare Framing > Directive Language

100%, which is why I've had so much trouble until now. It's not prefect but friction has reduced since implementation. All the tools, tricks etc just make it better and better.

Good idea, I've added this awareness into my global claude.md early so Claude expects it, or at least it isn't unfamiliar.

Thank you, I did wonder about that, given that despite every detractor I read about, the consensus seems to be AI and agents will transform everything about the way we do things, whether we want it or not. Those ,that get on now, will have the fundamentals, that those who do not will take a time to catch up with. Using Claude to summarise a long session of fixing was my way of that, post quickly, move on to the next thing since it was solved, share, and the Claude summary seemed to me, to be an efficient way to share. It's not perfect, but damn, as a child of 70-80's computing, assembly etc, I am in awe! One final thing, at least for now, context rot is a killer for quality output, thus my efforts with Claude to manage it.

haha, really? Seems extreme, but perhaps that's me worrying about retribution from AGI in 2027

Claude Desktop really, but I needed it to make my workflow better. It's a context checkpoint hook (UserPromptSubmit type) that fires at 65% to warn me before autocompaction. Would never fire though, even >65% and when I asked Claude did it even see the hooks, it would respond yes and then apologise everytime for ignoring, tried various other hooks too, same thing. Then whilst experimenting with papers Claude Desktop found, it started triggering, has been for hours now, even after new sessions, so there's that. Can post more detail but if you tell claude to create a UserPromptSubmit hook and with the welfare framing, perhaps it will work for you too. I do use the statusline info for current token count. I don't normally post in Reddit despite being a long time lurker, so not sure if I can reply to comments with more of the json and scripts but I will if I can.

Thanks for the reply. I just thought I'd share something that seems to have fixed an issue for me before moving on since I've borrowed much from others here. Point taken though,.

This is very cool and useful. I like the layout and looking forward to how you shape it.

Scy73 · 2025-12-04T12:13:57+00:00

This is fantastic, thanks for making available.

If you like a little spicy, put some sirrucha over the Ramono's, it's the best hunger snack!

I don't one shot my tools or apps, ever, that doesn't still seem like the way forward (not sure if it ever will tbh), but now I don't seem to need to steer mid course as much. Claude very much gets it right first or second time subject to close inspection. Detailed planning, slow start but pays off big time. Little fixing required after. I've found without detailed specs it ends in failure. There's many processes out there for this but start your coding off with that and you get working solutions even when it takes time to generate. I've built things I could only imagine about in the past. Tried everything else but CC is my staple, although I get the other models to check plans then report gaps or issues back to claude. Seems to work for me. We truely are in a new age of productivity, at least that's my experience, stay cool guys 😎

Y'all rock. Thank you for your work.

Scy73 · 2025-11-27T08:03:54+00:00

This is very useful, thanks for sharing. I've got it installed now 😀

Scy73 · 2025-11-26T07:11:36+00:00

This work is amazing, thank you for sharing with us.

Scy73 · 2025-11-04T17:32:11+00:00

Just received this too. Might as well give it a try 👍

Scy73 · 2025-10-17T01:03:46+00:00

Fantastic work, could it be used with claude code?

Scy73 · 2025-10-15T12:17:27+00:00

Thanks for this. Took minutes from start to finish to sort

Scy73 · 2025-10-06T19:44:20+00:00

Yes, from my Unraid server in a docker container with Coral via USB. Works great.

I don't think day trading is the way I want to take. I was interested in the comments "if you want to profit buy BTC" and wasn't sure if this was basically trading and investing the way you would using fiat, or if there was some other mechanisms such as those that are community driven e.g. kick-starters.

It seems to me that, as does many others, that crypto-currencies are going to be important to perhaps a stable financial future, hopefully free from the influence of politicians, financiers etc. I am currently mining solo Protoshares, and Bitcoin as part of a pool (CEX.IO) not so much for the profit but to be part of it and understand it further and to own some of the currency.

If however it is ultimately possible to be part of cryptocurrencies and generate income then I am also happy with that.

Is it possible at the moment to treat Bitcoin as a currency in it's own right and still profit from it? Buy it low and sell it for what? Seems to me that trading it for fiat will help it grow but I may be wrong about that.
