3.7 is like a wild horse. you really must ground it with clear instructions. it sucks that it doesn't automatically know that but it's tameable.

Could you share any successful prompting techniques for grounding 3.7, even just a project-specific example?

    I use this:

        I don't want to drastically change my current code, nor do I like being told to create several new files and numerous functions/classes to solve this problem. I want you to think clearly and be focused on the task and don't get wild! I want the most straightforward approach which is elegant, intuitive, and rock solid.

      As a caveat, I told it to make minimal code for one task and it completely skipped a super important aspect of it, justifying it by saying that I said "minimal".

      Not cool, Claude 3.7, not cool.
