I've recently asked claude to be concise in writing documents. It's brilliant for me. You get things like:

  <cmd> force-off  # pull the plug

No faffing around.

It may not be verbose, but it's still faffing around by using an idiom

Idioms can be much more dense than otherwise.

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra

Yes, I think the appropriate thing to do here would have been

  <cmd> force-off  # force off

All the brilliance of the original, but also no inappropriate idioms.
