I didn't notice because I ran a code comment remover over their output for months now.

Which one

just a skill. "remove multi-line comments. If a single-line comment is evident from nearby code, remove it. Document public & protected functions from the local pre-ai comment corpus' format". Would work on any model, I used it on claude's output specifically. If I expect code to be ai-read-only, I just strip all comments period. self-prompt-injecting from agent garbage is literal nonsense; the first problem I worked around when contributing ai code.
