Type of Behavior Issue

Claude ignored my instructions or configuration

What You Asked Claude to Do

I asked and its also as an memory instruction when i want ui changes to check the whole page identify other parts that working and then apply the fix. I need more than 5 chats with the screenshot while sonet replies that its fixed. Fails to make simple ui fixes or understand that what i actually told to do and read the whole page is not done. After 5 or more retries then it will be fixed. It can create a full api with 15% usage of 5 hours limit and 25% just to fix a button that is not adaptive while there are four buttons bellow that are working fine.

What Claude Actually Did

After 5 or more retries asking for the same thing it finally replied with :

Expected Behavior

do what it replied cause its already asked to do that.

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by rephrasing instructions to improve clarity and specificity, potentially reducing the number of retries needed for Claude to understand and execute the requested UI fixes.

Guidance

  • Review the instructions provided to Claude for clarity and specificity, ensuring they are concise and directly related to the desired UI changes.
  • Consider breaking down complex instructions into simpler, step-by-step requests to help Claude understand the task better.
  • Evaluate the use of screenshots and examples to support instructions, as visual aids might help in clarifying the intended changes.
  • Test the revised instructions with the Sonnet model to observe if the number of retries decreases and if the model better understands the requests.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided due to the nature of the issue, which involves improving human-model interaction rather than coding.

Notes

The effectiveness of the suggested approach may vary depending on the complexity of the UI fixes and how well the revised instructions align with Claude's capabilities and understanding.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Rephrase and simplify instructions to improve clarity, as this approach does not require any version updates or significant changes to the existing setup, and it directly addresses the observed issue of Claude misunderstanding or ignoring instructions.
