I actually changed the output style for Claude Code to use ASD-STE100 and it still doesn't help that much. It still comes up with a lot of stupid words like this gem "Standing where it stood"

Yeah I agree... I also tried output styles, tried using hooks to repeatedly tell it to be a little better. I don't think it helped, as I was always frustrated with it.

I found vomit with a small LLM much better than anything Opus 5 ever wrote. I don't think Opus 5 can write.
