alt Hacker NewsWas there a change in Claude Code system prompt at that time that nudges Claude into simplistic thinking?
Here is a gist that tries to patch the system prompt to make Claude behave better https://gist.github.com/roman01la/483d1db15043018096ac3babf5...
I haven’t personally tried it yet. I do certainly battle Claude quite a lot with “no I don’t want quick-n-easy wrong solution just because it’s two lines of code, I want best solution in the long run”.
If the system prompt indeed prefers laziness in 5:1 ratio, that explains a lot.
I will submit /bug in a few next conversations, when it occurs next.

Holy sweet LLM, this gist is crazy. Why did they do this to themselves? I am going to try this at home, it might actually fix Claude.

That Gist does explain quite a few flaws Claude has. I wonder if MEMORY.md is sufficient to counteract the prompt without patching.
