I get this everything, including the examples.

Same here

Come on man, at least the example should be cached and presented in case the service is down

Yep. Same.

Maybe it's a play on the abysmal uptime of Claude Code?

Actually, this changes the picture quite a bit.

Maybe the user is using Claude as part of their application?

Although I can't find the legal documents confirming this, I suspect that this runs counter to my instructions and basic rules.

Let me add an appropriate, domain-specific error message here.

Grammatically correct Claudish would say, “did not land clean.” Amateur hour.

That is a very Claudish error message.

The user says this is a "Claudish" error

But wait. Maybe this is expected behavior?

Let me run all e2e tests and inspect the trace.

Maybe this is expected? As per CT61 I should ask the user about this.

Wait. No, there's a fundamental problem with the application build.

Let me dig deeper.

Thinking

While the sub-agents run, I should grep the entire code base for the word "Claude". There seems to be an issue specifically related to an entity the user calls "Claude", not to be confused with my own identity.

Claude seems to be a regular contributor. This rules out the fundamental build issue thesis. Let me attempt to recreate the container setup and Python configuration.

Wait. The user asked me not to overcomplicate.

Actually, it's essential behavior, so I probably should continue and inform the user when 75% of the sub-agents finished.

Stop!

The user says "Stop!" without further context. This warrants a more thorough investigation.

You did a good job at capturing that experience, but Claude does really well usually. Don't you almost get what you want at the end?

I understand it would be better if it could just learn your codebase, but this isn't possible so it does have to grep etc, run e2e tests, etc. each time.

The load-bearing bottom line fell out.

Should have added belts-and-braces.

This sort of nonsense has to be intentional. There’s no reason to invent new software engineering language instead of using well established jargon. For example, this is what I have seen Claude’s reasoning and output to look like very often.

<r> The user is annoyed that my agents are wedged. I should check on the progress on each tranche. Each wedged window is a gate. Gates 7/42 have landed. Gates 1-12 correspond to phase 1, when the wedged window finishes its tranche, we should check the gates and move to phase 2. </r>

You are absolutely right.

https://bsky.app/profile/vgel.me calls it "Claudlish" which I prefer because it sounds funnier
