claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug] Claude Code performs unrequested file edits despite explicit "do not act" instructions [1 comments, 2 participants]

[{"error":"Error: Request was aborted.\n at makeRequest (B:/~BUN/root/src/entrypoints/cli.js:50:3448)\n at processTicksAndRejections (native:7:39)","timestamp":"2026-05-02T17:58:52.136Z"}]

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by re-examining the instruction phrases to ensure they explicitly contain action verbs, as the Claude code seems to ignore implicit action prompts.

Guidance

• Review the code's natural language processing (NLP) logic to understand how it interprets instructions and identify potential flaws in implicit action detection.
• Verify that the instruction phrases contain explicit action verbs, such as "edit" or "modify", to ensure the code recognizes them as direct instructions.
• Check the code's version history to see if any recent changes may have introduced this issue, considering the problem has been ongoing for two weeks.
• Test the code with a variety of instruction phrases, both explicit and implicit, to better understand its behavior and identify potential patterns or edge cases.

Notes

The provided error message suggests a request abortion, but its connection to the instruction interpretation issue is unclear, and further investigation is needed to determine if it's related.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: rephrase instruction phrases to explicitly contain action verbs, as this is a more direct and reliable way to ensure the code recognizes and follows instructions.
