🤖 “Your framing highlights a key load-bearing seam. One observation subsumed within the fold. It’s not platitude, it’s postulation. One caveat worth flagging — the quiet part is what bites.” Claude soup

Tell it you have ADHD and that it needs to speak in ADHD consumable format. It is the most consumable format by far and hi lights action items, doesn’t use lilotes, cuts the fluff, you get zero”it’s not this it’s that” or “here’s the part people miss”

Nate, one challenge if you use AI a lot is that you on the receiving end of a LOT of text. When I ask Claude / GPT to be more concise, it uses fewer words but packs in quite a bit of conceptual density in a short length. Ideally, I want it to talk to me like one does to an executive — thinking hard about the most important points, and communicating the essence of the topic in the easiest way so that the executive can address the issue and get to the next topic at hand. Do you have any ways you tackle this?

I’m going easier route. ”Speak like Loki.” or ”Speak like Geralt of Rivia.” 😅 And there is no dull day ever.

Actually, I love the fact that Claude pushes back most of the time. Sometimes it's right, sometimes it's wrong. However, this critical thinking aspect is amazing.

You should never change how the agent thinks and how it writes is also how it’s inference works. You can add that as a block at the end after it gets done with its inference or you’ll kill your benchmarks. I feel like you should know this.

Okay question though…why a skill? This feels like a rule. Also thank you, I have to tell it to be concise like 2-3 times.

It doesn’t work reliably. I guarantee. You’ll have to remind it over and over to use it. It’s annoying.

Great tip for documentation purposes, but AI models have a limited amount of processing power per response. If a huge portion of its brain is forced to constantly check, format, and filter its words to match a strict guide, it has less brainpower left to solve your actual problem

Larry Maguire | AI Trainer :
it doesn’t work because the model is literally built to respond this way and skills are only loaded after the fact, and perhaps not at all in any given conversation. Claudish (apt word) is built into the system prompt so any results using skills are temporary and not robust I have found.
