I’ve noticed a change over the last few months. It used to be that I’d tag a file with @ and ask: “here’s a bug, help me fix it.” It would take claude.md and the file as context and offer a fix. Problem solved with few tokens. Now: it feels like it first reads the whole repo as context, tries to reproduce the bug with an integration test I never asked for, writes a fix spanning multiple files, then adds a new test for each new file, and after every new test runs it individually. Result: bug fixed, 150k tokens burned. Do you see this too? It leaves a bit of a bad taste for me, because the company benefits the more tokens get used, even when it’s not necessary. Or does it actually help, because the extra context and test coverage make the fixes better? Are you doing anything about it, like custom instructions in claude.md? Which ones actually work well? submitted by /u/LouisObsidian
