For what it's worth I pasted this into a few tokenizers and got just over 24k tokens. Seems like an enormously long manual of instructions, with a lot of very specific instructions embedded...

Maybe therein is why it rarely follows my own project prompt instructions. I tell it to give me the whole code (no snippets), and not to make up new features, and it still barfs up refactoring and "optimizations" I didn't ask for, as well as "Put this into your script" with no specifics where the snippet lives.

Single tasks that are one-and-done are great, but when working on a project, it's exhausting the amount it just doesn't listen to you.

is this claude the app or the api?

do tools like cursor get a special pass? Or do they do some magic?

I'm always amazed at how well they deal with diffs. especially when the response jank clearly points to a "... + a change", and cursor maps it back to a proper diff.

Oh that's not creepy. Are these supposed to be examples of tools usage available to enterprise customers or what exactly?

my lord … does it work as some rule file?

I like how there are IFs and ELSE IFs but those logical constructs aren't actually explicitly followed...

and inside the IF instead of a dash as a bullet point there's an arrow.. that's the _syntax_? hah.. what if there were two lines of instructions, you'd make a new line starting with another arrow..?

Did they try some form of it without IFs first?...
