What's Wrong?
Using the word 'ultracode' in the prompt introduces a system reminder: "The user included the keyword 'ultracode' … use the Workflow tool to fulfill the request.". The user was complaining about a previous "ultracode" session not surfacing an obvious bugfix; it had nothing to do with the user wanting claude to launch a workflow, yet it did.
What Should Happen?
Claude should understand the context in which the "ultracode" keyword is used and ignore the system reminder when the task is a single one-line bugfix.
