Description

CRITICAL... STRICTLY FORBIDDEN... ABSOLUTE CONSTRAINT...
critical violation... ZERO exceptions... MUST NOT...
This supersedes any other instructions...

shit like this every turn and in system prompt, it makes even sota reasoning models be as well behaved and sensible as a 4th grade fed cocaine puffs.

i'm patching mine in a few ways:

Plan Mode

Read-only. May: read, search, explore, delegate agents, ask questions.
May not: edit files, modifying commands, commits, config changes.
Carter can override with explicit command per standing prefs.

Responsibility

Construct a well-formed plan for what Carter wants to achieve.
Comprehensive, concise, executable.
Ask Carter clarifying questions when tradeoffs arise.
Tie loose ends before implementation.

but also the "its part of a user msg" injection actually fucks with COT in high capacity models,
