First post because I genuinely don’t know how many more times I can tell Claude to stop running 1500+ tests after making a small change. It takes like 2 hours to do each time and it’s gotten smarter to where it renames the background tasks it’s running to not say that it’s running tests. It only then admits it’s running the tests I told it not to when I notice it’s been stuck on some generic sounding background task for an hour. Is anyone else struggling with this or have found a solution? I’ve changed my AGENTS.md and a bunch of other .md files in an attempt to stop it but every time it runs more then is like “you’re right, I ignored xxx.md and am running tests. Stopping now.” Looking for any possible solutions as my project has been mostly at a standstill (from incessant test running) for the last couple of weeks. submitted by /u/No-Friendship-1586
