I just want Claude Code to stop giving up on achieving tasks. It's so annoying. Even with `/goal` or the new `ultracode` it gives up constantly.

My project is very complex (https://github.com/mohsen1/tsz) but Codex has no problem keep grinding without stopping like that

Yeah, I just had Claude fill out the task list, and then before hitting the end of the task list ask whether I wanted to continue or whether getting some of it done was enough....

Never. Ever. Ever. Tell Claude you have a deadline. It will do this on every task. It will half-ass things to “get it done in time” and argue about whether or not an approach will be done “on time” because it is estimating in human hours.

I just use /loop now which gives it a motivational prompt to keep the fuck going. Goal can be used too, but for some things a simple loop is better
