I put together a quick audit to check for "early landing" messages[1] using jq, ripgrep, and the messages[2] flagged in the stop guard script.
I have noticed a trend in these sessions asking more and more about calling it a day, "it's getting late," and other phrases. I sort of assumed it was some kind of "load shedding" on Anthropic's side.
My audit of 80 sessions was interesting. Sorry, I won't share details, but I recommend you do the same.
As a negative example, my audit of 31 sessions was uninteresting. I had one matching entry, where I had pasted a long list of console errors into Claude and it identified a few as pre-existing and asked me to get more information for follow-up analysis.
I wonder if it comes down to prompting—maybe by introducing these "golden rules" OP mentions in their CLAUDE.md, they're actually "priming" Claude to think about these stop phrases and introduce them proactively.
Do you have a CLAUDE.md file? What does it contain?
Those load shedding statements are infuriating. I’ve literal had sessions where we just get through planning a giant feature and I say “get started” with the response being “okay, we’ll pic up tomorrow “
