Type of Behavior Issue

Other unexpected behavior

What You Asked Claude to Do

The claude code (Opus 4.6 - Max Effort) showing degraded in performance especially in reading the code files and instructions. It was working perfectly before by reading all the files and info (Claude.md) before proceed to edit, and it's now directly edit the code and cause the system to break.

What Claude Actually Did

  1. Skip the Claude.md, Lessons.md and Progress.md and directly edit which violating all the rules set previously.
  2. And the code reviewer cannot find out the BUGS.

Expected Behavior

Claude should have:

  1. Read all the files
  2. Read the instructions
  3. Read the code and past issues
  4. Start to edit
  5. Identify the part to edit
  6. Edit it

Files Affected

Permission Mode

Accept Edits was ON (auto-accepting changes)

Can You Reproduce This?

Yes, every time with the same prompt

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Just start any previous Claude Code project and ask it to edit the function (ex. Edit the Function Call to the API with the new field added in)

Claude Model

Opus

Impact

Additional Context

This only happen since the end of March.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by re-enabling the preflight checks for Claude to read all necessary files and instructions before editing the code.

Guidance

  • Review the configuration of the Claude Code project to ensure that it is set to read all necessary files, including Claude.md, Lessons.md, and Progress.md, before editing the code.
  • Verify that the Accept Edits mode is set to OFF to prevent auto-accepting changes without proper review.
  • Check the project settings to see if there are any updates or changes made recently that could be causing the issue, especially since the end of March.
  • Test the project with a previous version of the Claude Code to see if the issue persists, to determine if it's a version-specific problem.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems to be related to configuration and project settings.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the Opus model and the Anthropic API platform, and the cause is unclear. Further investigation is needed to determine the root cause of the problem.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Re-enable preflight checks and review project settings to ensure that Claude is reading all necessary files and instructions before editing the code. This is because the issue seems to be related to a change in behavior since the end of March, and re-enabling preflight checks may help mitigate the problem.
