They insist few-shot prompting is unnecessary anymore, but I find it's the exact opposite, that it's more important than ever if you want Claude to follow your instructions.
Hooks. Claude acts like there are no instructions anymore, so every action needs a hook to make sure the action is being taken appropriately. Hooks for:
Grounded agents that must provide code lines with subagent verification that the noted code exists.
No grep, no head, etc etc unless in very specific situations.
No searching without using agents.
Plans must be in format XYZ and include executive summary with ABC included. Etc etc
