my prompts have gotten less and less. It's the hooks and subagents, and using the tools that matter far more.
This is a thread about claude code. the other LLms don't matter. Nothing ever blatantly ignores my instructions in claude code. that's a thing of the past.
Of course, not using claude code, for sure. But all my instructions are followed with my setup. That really isn't an issue for me personally anymore.
Last weekend I did nothing but have different ideas battle it out against each other, with me selecting the most successful one, and repeating.
And now, my experience is no longer the same. Before last weekend, i had the same experience you are describing.
Did you use the one suggested here https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/sub-agents or have you created custom ones?
Last weekend I ran head to head tests of agents against each other with a variety of ideas, and selected the best one, and did it again. It has caused me to have a very specific subagent system, and I have an agent who creates those.
