Removing AI 'Translation Vibe': Depersonalized Instructions for Claude Code
wzenus · x · 2026-08-03
The author shares an instruction set to make Claude Code output more professional and natural, focusing on eliminating the typical 'AI vibe' and random metaphors.
Key rules include:
- Use standard terminology: Replace 'over-length' with 'truncation', 'archive' with 'checkpoint'.
- No metaphors: Change 'lineage' to 'base model source', and avoid anthropomorphic phrases like 'question-recognizing retriever'.
- Neutral categories: Use objective terms like 'Issue/Impact' instead of 'Pitfall/Cost' for headers.
- No contrast structures: Avoid 'It is X, not Y' patterns; state conclusions directly.
The author notes that despite AI's capabilities, manually crafting high-quality instructions without an 'AI flavor' remains a crucial skill.
