Anti-Pattern Detection

Anti-Pattern Detection

Priority: MEDIUM

Problem:
Claude Code doesn't recognize when its own behavior is unproductive. Example: creating 5 different expect scripts when this approach clearly wasn't working.

Current Behavior:

Creates multiple temporary scripts without progress
Tries same command with slight variations repeatedly
No self-awareness of unproductive patterns
Expected Behavior:

Detect: "I've created 3 scripts without progress"
Auto-suggest: "This approach isn't working. Let me step back and try a different strategy."
Flag repetitive variations: "I'm trying similar approaches repeatedly. Should I research alternatives?"
Suggested Patterns to Detect:

Creating >2 temporary scripts without progress
Running same command 5+ times with slight variations
No progress for 30+ minutes (measured by errors continuing)
Circular logic (trying A → fails → try B → fails → try A again)
