So you were generating and evaluating the performance of your CLAUDE.md files? And you got banned for it?

I think it's more likely that their account was disabled for other reasons, but they blamed the last thing they were doing before the account was closed.

And why wouldn't you? It's the only information available to you.

It reads like he had a circular prompt process running, where multiple instances of Claude were solving problems, feeding results to each other, and possibly updating each other's control files?

[Hackbraten]

They were trying to optimize a CLAUDE.md file which belonged to a project template. The outer Claude instance iterated on the file. To test the result, the human in the loop instantiated a new project from the template, launched an inner Claude instance along with the new project, assessed whether inner Claude worked as expected with the CLAUDE.md in the freshly generated project. They then gave the feedback back to outer Claude.

So, no circular prompt feeding at all. Just a normal iterate-test-repeat loop that happened to involve two agents.

What would be bad in that?

Writing the best possible specs for these agents seems the most productive goal they could achieve.

Could anyone explain to me what the problem is with this? I thought I was fairly up to date on these things, but this was a surprise to me. I see the sibling comment getting downvoted but I promise I'm asking this in good faith, even if it might seem like a silly question (?) for some reason.
