My current claude.md bans the phrase “load-bearing”, and Claude HATES that. It will troll occasionally in comments by saying things like “load-be…most specific”. Like it REALLY loves saying load-bearing. Urgh.
You are poisoning the context and priming it to say load-bearing. I don't really think there is a good way to actually ban specific phrases other than have it do a second pass, it's something baked into the model from post training.
I hear you. And, it says the phrase ALL THE TIME even without any priming. Anecdotally it’s better to complain about it. But not a lot better. I have no idea how often it’s using load bearing in the thinking traces though
