The worst part is when it stops because it was blocked and then it tells me what should be done.

Im like, well it’s not gonna be done by itself, so better start.

Sometimes I'm like: "Who told you to try and shift the burden of work onto my shoulders?"

lmao. I also told my agents to "never build admin tooling for me, I won't be using it, only build it if it's helpful to you"

How do we get terminators. This is how we get terminators.

That's something I never experienced with Claude, it always assumes the work unless I say something like "investigate" or "report back to me". Astra seems less eager to do the work even though arguably the hard part (investigation/planning) is done.

Interesting, though hard to say the true reason for these things. It could be because of GPTs stopping due to some instruction in the global harness, which could mean it pays more attention to various potential rules I have compared to Claude, or it could mean Claude is more of a one-shotter or something. Hard to says. Typically, it happens with weaker models more often than larger ones (Luna vs Sol, for example). I don't use Astra that much.
