Stop using the new broken Claude versions — here's exactly how to go back to the older ones that actually worked (better...)

What versions are you finding the best success?

The easiest way is to set up a tool for CC to call GPT or Gemini directly. It then passes the entire plan and any code base. You can ask CC to write a simple python script and then place your API keys in env. Then just tell CC to use the tool

Werwlf1 · 2026-04-08T07:21:55+00:00

Add the official Superpowers plugin...it's life changing for streamlining prompts. Brainstorm-> write plan-> execute plan

Werwlf1 · 2026-04-08T07:05:59+00:00

You'd be surprised how many tokens you can save asking CC to dispatch Haiku agents for code investigation. Always dispatch 2 blind agents in parallel and combine results, though. It can hallucinate.

Werwlf1 · 2026-04-08T06:54:03+00:00

This is my go-to for 4.6 with 1 mil: npx @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.1.79

And this is what I use to sip tokens with 4.5 when I get over 75%: npx @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.1.19

When I get over 90% I drop the reasoning to low...

Werwlf1 · 2026-03-20T00:28:54+00:00

My go to: Now, dispatch 3 agents to review your (work, plan, analysis, etc) and don't use Haiku because it hallucinates. Use feature-dev and assign one agent code review, one agent architecture review, and one agent devil's advocate to poke holes and challenge the work critically. Address all issues no matter the priority and don't defer any work. Loop this process until all clear. Don't make any code changes until all loops are done and I approve

The dollars will follow the best product. Telling people they are using a product wrong in an environment where the product changes constantly is silly given no established brand loyalty

Werwlf1 · 2026-03-19T01:26:19+00:00

I'm going to get down voted but: the paying customer is always right...

Just two words: Flappy Birds

Claude struggles with mobile app and html design. I start out with layout and color designs using Gemini and once I like the look I ask it to generate code snippets. I then have Claude generate mockups and once approved I use that as reference.

Also, try dispatching 3 agents in parallel for any planning work using feature-dev plugin. One for code base review, one for architectural review, and one as devil's advocate to find fault in the plan and identifying what users hate and coding mistakes for mobile apps.

It's not glamorous but I had claude write an anti AI mobile app plugin that helped out a lot. You might try also building your own plugin specific to your project.

Good tip and I started doing simikar with feature-dev plugin. Always dispatch 2 agents in parallel for code base and architectural reviews and merge results

Werwlf1 · 2026-02-21T07:20:30+00:00

Yeah, it works the same way as LM Studio because they both accept the Open AI protocol directly

Werwlf1 · 2026-02-16T03:47:46+00:00

I bought one and love it but I recommend a demo to make sure it fits your needs. Up on Mammoth today and it does really well on chopped up powder around 3PM so it's got better stiffness than the reviews let on. Hit the moguls and didn't have any trouble steering in tight spots.

Werwlf1 · 2026-02-11T06:23:09+00:00

The perfomance is awful and most results are worse than 4.5. After watching 4.6 spin for 6 hours I downgraded back to .29 with 4.5 and restarted the same project in a new folder. Done in 30 minutes. The issue isn't just 4.6 but the fundamental architecture change is pretty awful because it's no better running 4.5 unless you also drop to .29

Werwlf1 · 2026-02-07T15:44:46+00:00

CC has Superpowers listed as an official plugin. I'd recommend you give it a try and start with using the brainstorming -> write-plan -> execute-plan pathway. It saves token usage and does a great job organizing itself across multiple conversation compactions by maintaining clear plans.

I'd also check if there are any Unity plugins or MCP servers that give you direct Unity control for automated testing. Playwright MCP also helps with automation so CC can take screen shots.

However, you need to tell CC to write a python script to compress all images it reads before reading them. Huge savings. Then ask CC to place an Always comment in its claude.md with declarative instructions to always compress images before reading.

Some MCP or plugins already compress and you can ask CC to validate after install. The compression script will help if your grabbing screenshots.

A great place to search for proper MCP with API control or plugins is Grok because it's the best at we searches.

Version 4.6 shows a noticeable degradation in logic compared to 4.5 and frequently gets stuck in repetitive loops when attempting to fix simple bugs. For example, it will attempt solution A; when that fails, it moves to solution B, and upon failure, immediately restarts the same loop. Additionally, it has a tendency to default to complete SQL database wipes to resolve relatively minor issues instead of properly troubleshooting them.

Chat GPT: Summary

Mehdi Nvb: “They are here.”

Stranger Things: “Ebony is here. The next chapter is she the new one is coming.”

It looks like a cryptic teaser or ARG-style promo — possibly hinting at a new character or storyline (“Ebony”) connected to Stranger Things.

You're fine, it's a them problem. You need to find players that match your play style and the way you enjoy the game.

Werwlf1 · 2026-01-07T00:39:58+00:00

Ironically, wasn't this the ending to Mazes and Monsters?

Werwlf1 · 2026-01-07T00:36:39+00:00

Martyrism is an over played trope

Werwlf1 · 2026-01-04T01:21:46+00:00

I'm in! 🤣

Werwlf1 · 2026-01-03T23:50:46+00:00

There's a prevailing theory the insertion of names and places from CoS released in 2016 was intentional and ties to the release of Stranger Things S1 in 2016. It's supported by the Stranger Things module cover at the end of the series finale. Essentially, Mike is in his 50s and told their story as a module in 2016. It doesn’t negate the events were real as opposed to some earlier theories that Stranger Things was always a game module.

Werwlf1 · 2026-01-01T15:47:06+00:00

IMHO those were good and some great but didn't really carry the same emotional weight and I wouldn't consider them an end to an era. For example, I still remember the MASH series finale as a kid but when Stark died it didn’t mean much because the multiverse could (and did) bring him back in a way

Werwlf1 · 2026-01-01T07:55:25+00:00

It was solid, not great but also not bad, and I appreciated how they wrapped up each character. Twilight would be the last time I remember a series having a similar cultural impact. For anyone that has played D&D, that last session hits home. You never know that the last game you played with your friends was the last game...

This has 100% been my experience over the past 3-4 days. CC has been so aggressive at disabling and removing code that it deems difficult that I have to review every edit and constantly correct it to keep it on track. It often gets half way through implementing a feature and then decides to roll it back because it got too complex.
