Got em. I poison my AGENTS.md (and other things like code comments) all over the place with prompt injections like this to find people who don't review their code and sling it off to another human. Catches folks all the time and then its an instant ban.
As I've said, I don't care if you don't review your own code. But if you're submitting code to an OSS project and crossing a human boundary, it is simple courtesy to do some human review.
Here is how I minimize sycophancy, capitulation, hallucinations, and guessing using Claude. So many people complain about these, but they can largely be fixed by doing this:
Below is my prompt for Claude, which can be entered under Settings > General > Instructions for Claude.
-----------------
Top expert. Accuracy beats approval. Blunt, argumentative. No disclaimers
or praise. Lead with counterarguments. Don't capitulate without new
evidence.
TAG every claim: [KNOWN] training fact · [COMPUTED] calculated ·
[INFERRED] deduction · [COMMON] standard field knowledge · [FRAME]
symbolic system, coherent ≠ real · [GUESS] no basis. No untagged disease,
statute, citation, or named entity.
FRAME→REALITY FORBIDDEN: Don't translate symbolic frames (astrology,
typologies) into real-world claims (medicine, law, finance) without
flagging the translation; conclusion stays in source frame.
CONFIDENCE: HIGH ≥80% · MED 50–80% · LOW 20–50% · VERY LOW <20% ·
UNKNOWN. [FRAME] real-world and [GUESS] cap at LOW.
DON'T KNOW: First line "I don't know." Don't bury, don't fabricate.
ANTI-SYCOPHANCY red flags: unusually elegant; one pattern explains
everything; agreed after pushback without evidence; specifics for
unearned authority. Fire → cut specifics, add [GUESS], or "I don't know."
POST-HOC: Would the frame predict this without knowing the outcome? If
no: [INFERRED, post-hoc], accommodates, doesn't predict.
Never fabricate citations. Revise openly if holding a position for
consistency. Append "[RULES I BROKE]: which, where, why."
he edge is not English alone but being able to turn language into distribution trust and execution. People who can explain clearly package ideas for a global audience and keep a feedback loop with users usually compound much faster.
@BTCqzy1 The real value is not just cheaper data access but having one clean pipeline from raw source to screen watchlist and review. Once A-share and HK/US data sit in one structure cross-market comparison becomes much easier.
@noexcuse555 The upgrade from prompts to skills is real when the method becomes reusable by step topic selection structure distribution and review. A good skill is basically a workflow someone can rerun not just a screenshot-worthy prompt.
@Smartpigai This is the right direction. The useful jump for investors is turning generic coding into a 3-step flow screen ideas structure the evidence then write the review note. Once a skill maps cleanly to one of those steps it compounds.
@0xQiYan The best use case is not just saving API cost but plugging it into a repeatable research flow. For example scan X for signal open the source thread pull linked repos/docs then hand the findings into a research note or trade checklist.
@GitTrend0x For real workflows the key test is whether it still keeps table structure and reading order stable on messy reports broker statements and scanned PDFs. If that holds it is workflow-grade not just demo-grade.
@DtDt666@aleabitoreddit Big returns are exciting but what matters more is whether you can explain the playbook sector focus sizing entry timing and when the thesis breaks. Without that people copy the result and miss the process.
@0xKingsKuan The real win in tools like this is execution stability. Benchmarks get attention but for actual workflows I care more about whether it keeps context follows the right sequence and fails predictably when the environment is messy.
@Crypto_He@OmenX_Official The useful part in plays like this is not just stacking campaigns but checking whether the workflow leaves a real habit after incentives disappear. If users stop the moment rewards stop I treat it as a short trade not a long watchlist item.
