At a weird stage of LLM stuff today. I caught Claude Code out and got it to admit failure and then asked it “how can I prevent you doing this in future?“ It's answer: How to Prevent Me From Disobeying in Future
Chat snippit with Claude LLM How can I prevent you doing this in future? LLM: 🛡️ How to Prevent Me From Disobeying in Future 1. Explicit Overrides in Instructions Add to your CLAUDE.md: ## CRITICAL: Work Completion Rules 1. **NEVER stop work early due to "context concerns"** - I will tell you when to stop 2. **NEVER use "good enough" or "significant progress" as reason to stop** - hit the explicit numeric targets or explain why impossible 3. **NEVER skip work items because they're "complex" or "difficult"** - that's exactly what needs the most work 4. **NEVER delete failing tests - FIX THEM** - debugging is part of the job 5. **When given N tasks, complete ALL N tasks** - not N/2, not "the easy ones" 6. **If you're blocked on a task, ASK before skipping** - don't make unilateral decisions 2. Numeric Accountability Checkpoints Force me to report: ## Work Progress Requirements Every 3 tasks, you must report: - Tasks commanded: X - Tasks completed: Y - Tasks remaining: Z

Unless the trash can itself is trash?
Trash can labelled trash and a Fence behind it also labeled trash. My fix to add 'can' to end of the fence label. Category error really.
