I only use max. Even for hello. Even for tiny tasks. Everything max. I never talk to weak models. I never talk to second tier models. I only use the best setup. So this kind of dumb output is crazy to me. I pay for the 20x tier. I use the max budget, max effort, max max max… My setup: json { “effortLevel”: “high”, “env”: { “CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL”: “max”, “CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL”: “opus”, “ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL”: “claude-sonnet-4-6”, “CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS”: “128000”, “CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS”: “1”, “DISABLE_TELEMETRY”: “1”, “DISABLE_AUTO_COMPACT”: “1”, “CLAUDE_AUTOCOMPACT_PCT_OVERRIDE”: “95” }, “permissions”: { “defaultMode”: “bypassPermissions” } } Here is exactly what happened. I used /add-dir to load my workspace. Five directories, all my active projects: /Users/cai/developer/github/golemancy_all (main workspace) /Users/cai/developer/github/golemancy (desktop app) /Users/cai/developer/github/golemancyweb (website) /Users/cai/developer/github/v0-zza-ai-next (SaaS frontend) /Users/cai/developer/github/zza_all.worktree/zza_all@codex All five directories. All in context. The model knew exactly where everything lived. I asked: “which directories did you load” It listed all five. Fine. I typed: “write a markdown” It asked: “what do you want to write? a readme? docs? something else?” I typed: “docs” It asked: “what’s already in docs? what kind of doc do you want?” The answer was sitting right there in context. One existing file: _doc/ecosystem-architecture.md . Five loaded directories. It just needed to write something useful next to the one file that already existed. That is it. I told it to fuck off. It said “got it, going straight in” and then immediately stopped to read the existing file anyway. Then it spent 79 seconds thinking . Then it wrote this: /Users/cai/developer/github/golemancy_all/_doc/development-guide.md 200 lines. In Chinese. Full development guide nobody asked for. Dependency tables. Bash commands. SSH setup. SMB mount scripts. Windows remote dev instructions. Code signing steps. Deployment targets across five platforms. Here is a taste:
