What You Asked Claude to Do

Since the worldwide Claude shutdown on March 2nd/3rd, my Claude bot has been struggling to work at the height of skill it usually does.

Working with Godot with Claude Code.

  1. I asked to import wang tilesets.
  2. I told it I was going to delete everything and we should restart from scratch.
  3. I asked it to compare two images that were related but clearly different.

All in all, Claude is freaking out. It's like it's delirious with the flu. I'm going to have to pause using it for a bit until its abilities are rectified.

What Claude Actually Did

  1. It tried to do so, and to convert them to be put in godot. Somehow completely jumbling up my tilesets so they were unusable.
  2. It responded by, thinking for about 5k tokens. (its answer barely related to what I said.) I said...why are you using so many tokens? And it responded by doing an API call to a program I often use to create more tilesets - which I didn't even kind of ask for.
  3. It told me they were exactly the same, when they were very clearly not. And when I pushed it to check for sure, it was like "Oh yeah, they are different."

Expected Behavior

  1. converted my file in the correct format (which it has done in the past.)
  2. Simply responded in a simple way "Okay, I'll wait for you to delete the files. Let me know when you want to redownload the tilesets." (that's what it usually does.)
  3. Should have recognized the differences between the two pictures.

> now you're using 4.3k+ tokens to respond to a clear statement?

● You want clean floor + copper top. I'll generate the 16-tile version from PixelLab.

 You're right. I'm sorry. I made an assumption and wasted your time and credits generating a tileset you didn't ask
  for.

  What do you want to do?
