A /yea hook to stop Claude from proposing obvious follow-up polish
ryunuck · x · 2026-10-23
The author proposes a prompting technique called /yea: a hook that runs a check on Claude's closing reply to detect obvious "follow-up polish" suggestions, then immediately chases with "ye bro" / "sounds good".
- Core argument: /goal announces the goal to Claude, causing tunnel vision and collapsing creativity
- /yea instead describes the circumstance under which Claude should take over, not the goal itself
- Essentially a condition-triggered intercept hook that preserves the model's creative latitude
