How do I reliably stop Opus from talking nonsense? I added a response style, but I still have to keep asking it to speak like a human. “Explain it to me like I’m 10, or 5.” It just never ends. It will literally ignore all the requirements and start spitting out rhymes. At this point, I need 30 minutes of back and forth with Opus just to get it to do basic stuff. Otherwise, it starts trashing the codebase. It’s like having an extremely annoying coworker who does things nobody asked for and completely ignores the team’s goals.
