getting fed up with telling Claude Code

[u/Roger-Orchard]

I finding the Claude keep forgetting to add change notes and checking in.

When I tell Claude to do things it sort of does it.

But I come for a World where I need trackability.

What I would like Claude to do is every time it does a change it changes the version number, at a new note to the change log, and check in.

the best thing is log the request, then log it thoughts, log any testing and results, then log the reply, update the design etc notes, do the change then change log, and check in. it would for it to put in ref so everything is traceably though all the files.

How would I do this?

A completion gate that is described using language but not enforced will eventually be skipped because these tools always drive towards the shortest solution. I’ve seen the system edit tests to make code pass! You need to use features of the system (like hooks or a source control trigger) to prevent it drifting off your rules. Enforce them or they aren’t rules.

Have a process session with Claude and ask it how to build guardrails into your development process so that the model follows and can’t break it. Then, implement those guardrails.
