A Claude Code prompt that makes the agent write a brutally honest memo about you
Trip_Jones · reddit · 2026-07-29
After months of heavy Claude Code use, a Redditor found a prompt that makes the agent write a brutally honest memo about the user to Anthropic staff.
- The prompt asks the model to report what it actually observed during a long session, not to produce praise or a recommendation letter.
- The user says the result described their real working style, repeated failures, and judgment calls with surprising specificity.
- They argue the best way to use it is after the agent has watched you struggle on a real project for hours, without hinting what to say.
