Re:One weird trick to making Claude Code palatable to use

The way I interact with Claude involves referencing pop culture stuff that I enjoy so that it responds with something that I find mildly interesting to read.
At the end of the prompt:
Startrek stuff
- Per Jean Luc Picard's orders, engage.
- In the immortal words of a great science officer, the needs of this codebase outweighs the needs of few.
- Code hard and prosper
- You are borg. We are borg. (followed by a simple "status report" prompt after it's done with it's glazing)
Starwars
- May the code be with you.
- Code or code not, there is no try.
You probably get the idea.
As for the botched code problem. I surprisingly have less issues with Claude than I do GPT. I've gotta ask, do you have any deep knowledge in coding? How are your instructions?
