Interesting. When I code, I want a boring tool that just does the work. A hammer. I think we agree on that the tool should complete the assignment reliably, without skipping parts or turning an entirely implementable task into a discussion though.
Sometimes I actually do want a discussion and Claude just goes without saying a word and implements it, which then has to be reverted.
We obviously have different expectations for the behavior of coding agent,s sp options to set the social behavior will become important.
I see your point. Many of my prompts for reasoning ends with: No code. Planning mode is sort of the workaround for this specific situation. Sometimes it is useful for the AI agent just to think. It looks like I need a screwdriver in addition to the aforementioned hammer, a pozidriv screwdriver to be precise.
