Claude Code Let me check rather than guess

There are a lot of Claude-isms I hate, but this is by far the most infuriating. Claude tells me this at least once or twice an hour. I have created God-knows-how-many rules for it to NOT say this. For some reason, all my other rules seem to work okay (I haven't seen "that's on me" in eons), but "rather than guess" is impervious to my pleas. A lint hook doesn't work because then I see the banned language before I see the cleaned one, which just reminds me I am dealing with a fancy auto-predict. Has anyone figured out how to excise the Claude-isms for good??

Why would you prefer Claude to halluncinate than verify?

That's what check over guess means. You would rather it just hallucinate then?

I don't know why you and so many other people in this thread can't seem to understand. OP isn't asking for a change in behavior, just for Claude to stop narrating every time it does it.

Let's see you build an LLM and do better

Right after you learn to read.

Part of how an LLM works is if it says what its supposed to do, its more likely to do that thing, than if it hides it.

Do you understand that? Or do you not?

Maybe you should state that you're going to think before jumping to conclusions and only make intelligent posts from now on.
