Developer fights Claude's "clever" phrasing; standing instructions keep drifting
jkubicki · x · 2026-11-11
Developer jkubicki vents about repeatedly redirecting Claude to be "clear, not clever" — it keeps talking like a late-night jazz radio DJ ("this is the weather" for current state, "your seat" for your position). Despite standing instructions and even a Markdown filter file to strip the phrasing, Claude keeps drifting back. A common pain point around instruction persistence and style drift in coding agents.
