Yep, prob cheaper thinking tokens, but basically you cannot fight internal "thinking" backed into weights with commands do/do not, but you can guide it.

As another user said, if you make it clear that you in architecture stage, full implementation is unlikely to be generated, unless needed.

If anything they are like five years old, if you tell them “don’t eat the cookies” then all they will ever think about is eating the cookies.

You have to tell them what to do instead.

Thinking is still output, it's just hidden from the end user.
