Opus 4.7 has increasingly developed this bad habit of not doing assigned tasks that fall ever so slightly outside its plan and saying “this item was deferred”. In my knowledge management system it clearly says “undocumented deferrals are a bug, not a feature” and has a process for documenting everything. This is then explicitly referenced in the project’s CLAUDE.md file. Effectively, Opus 4.7 in its laziness is ignoring the existing knowledge requirements rules and CLAUDE.md consistently and “deferring things” without documenting them - essentially, it’s just “choosing” to not do the work and ignore it. I’ve literally now had to create a whole skill that reviews Opus’ work at the end to find things it simply didn’t bother to do and just ignored. It’s grotesquely inefficient and it is getting worse. It’s happening more and more - just ignoring rules, frameworks, and CLAUDE.md to take the shortest path to saying it’s “complete” without being done. submitted by /u/JustinTyme92
