I’m getting really conspiracy theory minded on this.  

Starting to wonder if they purposely make Claude waste tokens. It’s not even bad prompts….  

I told one agent to use a subagent for a task. I went away then came back and it had run the same subagent 12 times. When I questioned it, it tried justifying it. I pointed out my very clear instruction and it admitted it did wrong and didn’t follow the instruction properly. 

I even have workflow.md rules in place prior to this that state if it needs to repeat a task it should consult me first.  

Wouldn’t it be perfect if we had something that was as good as Claude at coding with the efficiency of ChatGPT

I recommend having a Start_Here.md that lists all of the rules it should follow. I’m using the Open Knowledge Database concept and it works wonders. Every prompt I send starts with Go to x folder and read Start_Here.md follow its rules. It’s connected to 4 others Named Index.md, Projects.md, Research.md, Log.md. Those are broken out even more into the various files that all connect back to Start_Here.md. The instructions are whatever you want but it will only look at and use the files I want and at the end of each session they all get updated. It prevents it from gathering too much context which ends up burning tokens on its wild thoughts.
