A separate /clear and /code-comment-hygiene works much better than including instructions related to comment verbosity after carrying out a task.
Claude somehow is unable to stop writing excessive comments when carrying out a task.
I've added code comment hygiene to a skill that all of my pull requests go through, alongside a review from a separate agent and a settle loop against bots in my GitHub workspace (since output style has seemed to only help literally the output I see from the model).
A maximum of 20% comment lines added to total lines added and pasting in https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20260812-00/?p=11... has done wonders.
Even as the most Ant-pilled guy out there, I will take a moment to note that Codex on 5.6 models needs none of this...
