Do you think that Anthropic don’t include things like this in their harness / system prompts? I feel like this kind of prompts are uneccessary with Opus 4.5 onwards, obviously based on my own experience (I used to do this, on switching to opus I stopped and have implemented more complex problems, more successfully).

I am having the most success describing what I want as humanly as possible, describing outcomes clearly, making sure the plan is good and clearing context before implementing.

Maybe, but forcing code generation in a certain way could ruin hello worlds and simpler code generation.

Sometimes the user just wants something simple instead of enterprise grade.

I think that Claude can figure that out though - through the conversation Claude should figure out if this is an enterprise app, a hobby app or whatever, as it decides on how to code the thing.
