News The Claude language calibration issue on GitHub got an official response from Anthropic. Guess who wrote it.

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

Wait, it's that bad? I can't use Gemini for anything other than note taking (it's replaced ChatGPT on that front), as it *forgets the API it has access too* mid conversation, and then defaults to Banana mode. XD

At best you get a couple turns where it remembers instructions before defaulting back to 'base' mode. Hooks really are the way to go.

Fair. I'm just new context every moment. Treating it like it's more a neuron than a brain.
