The highest quality codebase

Yeah. I noticed Claud suffers when it reaches context overload - its too opinionated, so it shortens its own context with decisions I would not ever make, yet I see it telling itself that the shortcuts are a good idea because the project is complex...then it gets into a loop where it second guesses its own decisions and forgets the context and then continues to spiral uncontrollably into deeper and deeper failures - often missing the obvious glitch and instead looking into imaginary land for answers - constantly diverting the solution from patching to completely rewriting...

I think it suffers from performance anxiety...

The only solution I have found is to - rewrite the prompt from scratch, change the context myself, and then clear any "history or memories" and then try again.

I have even gone so far as to open nested folders in separate windows to "lock in" scope better.

As soon as I see the agent say "Wait, that doesnt make sense, let me review the code again" its cooked

All LLMs degrade in quality as soon as you go beyond one user message and one assistant response. If you're looking for accuracy and highest possible quality, you need to constantly redo the conversations from scratch, never go beyond one user message.

If the LLM gets it wrong in their first response, instead of saying "No, what I meant was...", you need to edit your first response, and re-generate, otherwise the conversation becomes "poisoned" almost immediately, and every token generated after that will suffer.
