My team uses a Claude Code hook that blocks any comment more than 2 lines long, and when tripped it encourages the agent to rewrite the comment more concisely and focus only on the "why" not the "what" of the code. I've found this extremely useful for code reviews.
I was using that approach with Fable to great effect, but with Opus it's useless. It just writes unreadable horseshit anyway, so banning comments entirely results in far more readable code.
Still I always find it funny when I give it code to review that it itself wrote and it immediately says how good the comments are, it's like that obama giving medal to obama meme.
