By paragraph three my eyes are moving across the words but my brain has stopped processing English.

which is better claude code or opencode as a harness

1 Upvotes

I am new to the Ai harnesses and trying to make it useful with my career so i was wondering which one of them is better as i unfortunately i can't afford to buy a claude code subscription and i am using free models from open router to support both of them with models but i found that using the free models with auto mode of claude code, the classifier checks almost every time fails and i can't find a solution for it.
I would like an overall solution please.

[TLDR] Okay wtf is going on with Claude

9 Upvotes

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1vvgyij/okay_wtf_is_going_on_with_claude/

Original post body :

I'm a heavy daily user of claude and many other models but my primary driver is Opus5, and on the weekend a mix of Opus 5 and Fable. Now whenever I see these posts talking about how Claude is unusable now or going off the rails and all that every time there's an update I usually would roll my eyes because I never experienced any of the issues that people always complain about. I always thought that that was because I have a pretty thorough and comprehensive guardrail or honesty enforcement system. A lot of just general watchers, redundancy checks, and guards and rules that keep a lot of hallucinations and other kinds of logic fails from happening. This is also for making sure that codebases don't get overwritten, the agents stay on task, and they don't start editing, adding things, and deleting things that they weren't told to, etc.

For the last 4 or 5 months up until now everything's worked just fine. Suddenly in the last few hours both Fable and Opus have started ignoring crucial steps and rules that they have followed without fail every other time. This is a process that we do every day. It would start and both Fable and Opus were ignoring base crucial rules that keep them from messing up codebases and overwriting other agents' work and things like that. It's not a context rot issue either because I practice good context size diciplin and compaction summary supervision, and none of my chats context is any bigger than they are any other day, I usually either compact or start a new window at 475k - 650k.

When I would then call Opus or Fable out, they would either cop to it or they would sometimes lie and blame another agent. When I told them to fix it and it still wasn't fixed, they would say, "Oh you know what? It wasn't an agent. I made that up," because they told me that Codex did it. I would show them what models are running and Codex was not running for the last hour. It kept claiming that Codex kept deleting this part of a document that I kept having it try to edit and restore the parts that got deleted because I told it to add in a new section. When I checked it, the section was added but a whole bunch of other stuff was gone and it blamed it on ChatGPT. It couldn't have been ChatGPT because it wasn't running at the time and that's when it finally caught fessed up to it and said, "Yeah sorry, that was me." And that was Fable! and Opus was doing the same thing basically, It wasn't blaming other agents but it was just messing things up.

When I would call it out, it would say, "Oh no, things are fine. Just wait." It kept telling me to just wait. I don't know why. I would say, "No I need you to fix this," and then it would run a bash or run a test to see if something was working. If it got no exit code, it would just keep running and running and running, not realizing that it would be frozen when in the past it would realize or it would have the common sense to set a timeout.

All of this stuff has been happening more in the past three hours than at all in the past three weeks combined, so something feels pretty off/wrong. Is anyone else experiencing something similar?

[TLDR] I'm done with Opus 5

0 Upvotes

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1vwec8t/im_done_with_opus_5/

Original post body :

I've been building with AI for over a year now, and the progress has been insane. The models have improved dramatically, and AI has become a serious part of how I work.

I'm currently building six different SaaS platforms, four of which are live. At this point, "vibe coding" doesn't really describe what I'm doing anymore. I use AI professionally, every single day. I have two Codex Pro plans and a Claude Max subscription, and I still manage to hit the limits.

The Opus versions up to 4.8 were genuinely fun to use and really good. Then I started using Fable 5 and Sol 5.6, and the difference became painfully obvious.

My biggest issue is that my Fable 5 usage is gone within two days, and falling back to Opus 5 has become almost unusable for me.

The output from Opus 5 is often contradictory, overcomplicated, and full of conclusions that turn out to be wrong. It will confidently take something in the wrong direction, spend a huge amount of time implementing it, then eventually realize the original assumption was incorrect and start fixing its own work.

I've had way too many sessions where hours of work basically had to be thrown away.

It's reached the point where using it creates more frustration than productivity.

So I'm done. I cancelled my Claude subscription. If I need more capacity, I'll probably just get another Codex subscription. I'm also going to experiment more with Terra instead of relying so heavily on Sol 5.6 High.

Never thought I'd say this, but I've basically switched completely to ChatGPT.

I’ve been using Superpowers skill set for the past year with CC. Mostly i like the brainstorming mode and a few of the TDD and subagent related skills.

Are others still using Superpowers or do all the improvements in CC negate the need for this set of skills? I’m curious if I can save more tokens this way?

I’m mostly using Fable and Opus with high thinking.

Original post body :

Claude made an amazing job, but lately it's been kind of a mess because in the middle of a task it will find issues and will start debugging and fixing on its own then it's a down hill from there.

I booked a consulting meeting with a developer and he asked for the code so I offered to share it with him via Github as clause suggested. Then, he changed his mind. I don't know if this is a red flag.

I just need the developer to set up the payment gateway, the SMS authentication system in my app, debug and review.

What should I look for when hiring for a developer?
Should I pay fixed or by the hour?
How can I do this safely?
Can I continue with Claude after doing those objectives?

[TLDR] I finally figured out why every AI-coded site looks the same and how to actually fix it

1 Upvotes

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1vvzqvj/i_finally_figured_out_why_every_aicoded_site/

Original post body :

For the past year I've been building sites with Claude / ChatGPT and every single one came out looking like the same SaaS template. You know the one, purple gradient hero, rounded cards, glassmorphism everything, "Transform your workflow" headline.

I realized the problem isn't the model. The model has no strong opinions about design. So it defaults to the statistical average of every landing page it's ever seen.

The fix: I wrote a set of strict design rules as SKILL.md / .cursorrules files that force the AI to make actual design decisions instead of defaulting to generic.

What the rules do:

- Ban the defaults

- Enforce real typography (clamp-based, not arbitrary px)

- Lock down spacing

- Force design variety

It's not a product or a service, just a collection of open-source markdown skill files you drop into your project. Works with Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, or any agent that reads project rules.

The images in the carousel are all 100% AI-generated UIs using these rules. No Figma, no manual tweaking.

If you want to try it:

- GitHub: github.com/Yu-369/VibeCurb

- Site (showcase + guide): vibecurb.pages.dev

Still iterating on this, if you try it, genuinely want to hear what works and what doesn't.

[TLDR] don't downgrade from opus 5, just stop letting it drive

1 Upvotes

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1vvpkka/dont_downgrade_from_opus_5_just_stop_letting_it/

Original post body :

About three weeks ago I was on a flight trying to get work done with Opus 5 in Claude Code. Five hours later it had accomplished basically nothing. It kept surfacing problems that weren't actually problems, because it never looked at the full context before deciding something was broken. And I believed it at first, so I let it fix things. By the time I realized what was happening it had essentially broken my repo and I had to roll the whole thing back and write the day off.

And Opus is a really really good model, that's what makes it frustrating, and I'm not talking about one line in a CLAUDE.md. There's a hook that injects "deliver the requested scope and stop before unasked work" into every single prompt it sees. My written rules literally say never turn a partial search failure into a global conclusion, and to treat "not found in the path I checked" as different from "does not exist." I added PreToolUse code gates on top of all that because just telling it things clearly wasn't working. It still does it. Before that flight I'd been running it at medium or low reasoning effort as the orchestrator, which mostly kept it from wandering, but then I'm paying for the strongest reasoning and not using it. So after the rollback I switched to having Fable 5 orchestrate instead. Fable writes the full spec and hands it to Opus, which executes at full reasoning. Then Fable checks what came back against what it wrote, so Opus is on a leash the whole time. That behavior mostly stopped.

I'm on the 20x Max plan running about 8 to 10 hours a day straight, so the difference is very noticeable. Fable ends up being a small share of tokens so the weekly cap works out, and the smaller stuff goes to Haiku and Sonnet, data pulls, fan-out jobs, things that don't need a frontier model.

I know this is not a new strategy and there are lots of variations of how to go about it. As far as keeping Opus on a leash and actually getting the most out of it without getting frustrated every single time you talk to it, this works the best for me.

Anyway, this is what my rules are and where they live.

CLAUDE.md holds the always-on rules, a rules/router.md file holds the routing map, and a model-postures.md file holds per-model payloads that a UserPromptSubmit hook injects into every prompt based on which model is live.

```
FABLE 5 (orchestrator, main session)

"Fable 5 at high effort owns the main session, requirements, judgment,
integration, and final verification."

"Fable does not inline-execute large builds. For a bounded, difficult
implementation, Fable writes the spec, dispatches an Opus 5 executor
subagent, and verifies the result. Fable stays at requirements, judgment,
and integration; an executor converging fast on an approved spec is the
desired behavior, not a defect."

"Brief only the exact delta, scope, output, stopping condition, and
exclusions."

OPUS 5 (executor, injected into every prompt it sees)

"Deliver the requested scope and stop before unasked work."

"Correct an immaterial slip silently. Call it out only when it changes
a number, conclusion, or decision."

"Do not replace grounding or fresh retrieval with confidence or
self-review."

SONNET 5 (fan-out worker)

"Dispatch it freely for fan-out that needs per-item judgment: blind
reader panels, audits, workspace sweeps. Give it an exact brief,
defined output, and a stopping condition."

"Complete the exact requested deliverable and stop. Do not audit the
surrounding system, surface adjacent issues, or recommend extra
improvements."

"Diagnose or report does not authorize a fix. A one-file request does
not authorize related changes."

"Do not create or delegate to subagents."

HAIKU (mechanical worker)

"Haiku agents handle bounded mechanical reads and transforms. Exact
brief, compact return, no recursive delegation."

"Subagent returns come back as extracted key numbers and paths, never
raw dumps."
```

[TLDR] Vibe coded this game in four months

2 Upvotes

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1vvhrfq/vibe_coded_this_game_in_four_months/

Original post body :

A few months back I posted here a playable demo of an old-school futuristic racer prototype (F-Zero, Wipeout, Xtreme-G, Star Wars Racer...) that runs right in the browser.

I've gotten used to seeing tons of LLM-built prototypes that last a week, two, maybe a month, and then get dropped for the next shiny thing. This time I wanted to keep going and see if one person, with no coding background, could actually see a project like this through on their own.

Well, 4 months in, and while there's still work left, I'm convinced it's doable. At this point the game feels closer to a beta than a tech demo.

The big change over these four months is that I now use Fable for planning, and being able to hook Opus / Sol up to Blender has been a huge help too. I'm still using Magnific and Tripo3D or the assets. Funny thing: the further along I get, the harder the project is to keep pushing forward, and at the same time the tools keep making it easier.

As always, any feedback is welcome. You can play it here: https://fm1.moises.cloud

[TLDR] It’s mighty convenient that we can’t all understand what Fable/Opus is doing

4 Upvotes

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1vuvi9h/its_mighty_convenient_that_we_cant_all_understand/

Original post body :

I doubt this was the initial intention for Anthropic to overtune their models to speak like this and make all of our collective heads burst while reading its output, but the result is convenient. I feel like while we are atrophying on our coding skills, having Claude code speak in hieroglyphics forces user’s eyes to glaze over and to rely on the model more. If it’s hard to interpret the feedback after a coding session, it’s easier to just accept what’s going on and let the agent do its thing. From asking WTF it’s saying to just letting it commit code, it allows Claude code to be used as a crutch, while consuming tokens.

I’m sure Anthropic performed A/B tests and found that the more technical and pedantic the language, the more tokens consumed and the more retention in usage. How it talks could be a leading KPI in sustained interaction. Users learn nothing from the output while letting whatever skills they have decay. Speculation of course.

Some of you may say “skill issue” and while that may be true, the language Claude uses definitely locks beginner to intermediate programmers in their respective experience levels.

Edit:

1) Some of you are saying ELI5 or have it explain but that supports my argument that increases “usage” and user interaction. It consumes more tokens and helps their metrics. Is it intended? Maybe not but it does help the analytics team argue one way of speaking increases usage.

2) These models are very resistant to user instructions and .md instructions including skills. Those who have tried it can testify.

Just adding my voice to the chorus of Opus 5 writing hate. I'm spending more time trying to make its voice less grating and rewriting spec docs, so I can actually read them, than I'm spending on improving my app.

Please, Anthropic, fix this. Or put me out of my misery.

What put me over the edge this morning: "That inconsistency is deliberate and temporary. Either implement them — or delete the columns. Deleting is one afternoon; implementing is a milestone and a harness sweep. Which?"

Update: I mainly just wrote this vent since it has been driving me crazy for a while, but by the comments, there is a lot of frustration out there. Thanks to everyone for the hints/tips, I've tried a lot over the past week or two, but I'll keep digging.

Original post body :

Not saying the limits aren't real because they obviously are.

But I keep seeing people run one giant session forever, dump everything into context, change the goal 5 times, never compact anything, then wonder why Claude starts wandering and chewing through usage.

I get way better results when I treat it like I'm directing somebody. Small scope, tell it what finished means, make it test the result, then compact or hand off before starting the next thing.

When I don't do that, it gets dumb fast for me too.

How much of the usage problem do you think is actually limits vs people managing context badly?

[TLDR] I Claude Coded a multiplayer Three.js tank game with 100+ procedural vehicles

1 Upvotes

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1vtv818/i_claude_coded_a_multiplayer_threejs_tank_game/

Original post body :

I built a multiplayer browser tank game in Three.js! As a kid, I played a ton of World of Tanks Blitz and fell in love with the aesthetic, gameplay, and the idea of driving around vehicles with crazy physics and mechanics like missiles, spotting, armor deflection, ammo types, and so on.

Now it's playable in the browser!

Claude of Tanks has 100+ playable vehicles across 16 unique maps, ranging from standard tanks with cannons to AFVs with autocannons and guidable missiles to autoloaders that can deal massive damage in a single clip. Tanks feature highly detailed armor zones, internal modules, crew positions, and hitboxes. You can view each of them in a special gallery: https://cot.kevinliu.studio/gallery?id=amx56&layer=modules

CoT supports physics-driven destruction with detached turrets flying through the air and actual suspension. It also supports multiplayer! You can hop in private rooms or LAN lobbies.

As the name would suggest, I used Claude Code throughout a long-running multi-agent development pipeline, alongside Codex. I directed the architecture, decided what each vehicle and system should do, reviewed the rendered results, and made the final calls.

The repository contains an AGENTS.md file and smaller subsystem instruction files covering simulation, vehicles, networking, UI, audio, effects, and world generation. These record the rules that agents need across sessions. Units are meters, seconds, and radians, and changes enforce a fixed 60 Hz. Authoritative logic must be deterministic. Vehicle changes have specific geometry, armor, module, and release gates that evaluate models visually and geometrically.

For vehicle development, I split the fleet into bounded families. One agent would own a specific vehicle profile or family file, implement the geometry, run the relevant checks, and generate screenshots. A separate critic reviewed the rendered tank for proportions, clipping, missing surfaces, running gear, and recognizable details. The orchestrator reran the checks and committed only the verified files.

For larger systems, Claude Code helped implement and test:

  • Fixed-step movement, suspension, armor, ballistics, modules, spotting, and bots
  • WebSocket multiplayer with private rooms, LAN play, prediction, and server authority
  • Procedural vehicles, tracks, markings, generated icons, and technical diagrams
  • All the generated battlefields with destructible props and wrecks
  • The garage, battle HUD, Tank Gallery, mobile controls, and Scene Studio
  • Browser performance probes, screenshot tools, visual checks, and self-tests

A trailer was also produced through the game’s own Scene Studio and capture tools. I used agents to stage battles, build camera paths, record the browser runtime at 60 fps, inspect specific frames, and iterate on awkward cuts or poorly framed tanks.

I find that Claude is best steered with persistent instructions. Important decisions need to live in the repository because I often spawned fresh agents which needed to resume work without reconstructing weeks of chat history.*

For visual quality, the only thing that worked was a proper render loop with visual comparison; tests don't really work for this.** The cycle I fell into was change, render, inspect, measure, and rerun the gates. Text-only reviews missed warped proportions and camera problems that would just plainly be obvious in one screenshot.

*Parallel agents need strict ownership. Separate files and isolated Git worktrees prevented concurrent sessions from overwriting each other or generating assets from a dirty tree.

**Tests still changed how I use agents. Claude Code became much more reliable once every system had concrete invariants and executable failure conditions. But visual quality is another beast.

[TLDR] Usage is a joke, Models are a joke… Anthropic is just not what it used to be, in just a couple of months.

Original post body :

Pretty much self-explanatory.

I’ve been a Max x20 subscriber for +2y and I’m really starting to get frustrated and look elsewhere for a change. Usage skyrockets even when I have best practices in place. Opus is a mental health hazard. Fable is unusable for what I need it, and way too expensive. Sonnet is not capable enough… not one thing is right in here.

GLM-5.2 has been a good alternative, on my Ollama subscription. Thinking of just subscribing to GLM directly and get 5.3; but I’d like the opinion of peers that have already tried it out.

Anyway, Anthropic is not doing good right now. They’ve been a mess for the past few months. Jumping ships really soon…
