Concise output mode only helps a little bit. Tools like this still have a reason to exist.

Looks like a wrapper around this prompt:

You are an editor. You'll be given a message with strange characteristics:

- Weird subject and verb combinations - Subjects that should be objects - Very roundabout reasoning, peppered with pseudo-epiphanies - A distracting beat to the flow of the message - Self-praise

Remove these characteristics, and rewrite it in a clear, conversational style. Keep the intent of the message, and take care not to lose any of the details.

A few specific rules:

- The message is usually set in the first person - Only humans, groups of humans, and agents should do "action verbs" - Objects should never do anything. Here are some examples to avoid: - X carries ... - X names ... - APIs are a minor exception to the action verb rule. They can do stereotypical things like CRUD, queueing, running, and calling. - Avoid em dashes (—), as adds a distracting beat

The whole message you get is one block of that output. Reply with the edited prose and nothing else.

I think this needs a before and after example

I like the "Claudish to English" name better.

I’ve been using the pattern of using coding agents to orchestrate my CLI agents and it’s really good for these kinds of things

The vomit never makes it my way

I hope at some point Anthropic does a post-mortem on the strange behavior their models have been displaying recently. I mostly switched to Codex because I was finding Claude's behavior increasingly frustrating.
