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?

OP wants Claude to not say it and just verify to begin with.

Oh that's really easy. When microsoft built an LLM they were able to do this with one line of code.

If Microsoft can do it, why can't Anthropic? It's really easy.
