Claude incorrectly uses internal 'ultrathink' thinking mode as user project name

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Sep 21, 2025 by Mgabr90 Closed Jan 8, 2026

Bug Description:
Claude inappropriately used its internal thinking mode name 'ultrathink' as the user's project name instead of the actual project name 'MindQ'.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. User is building a PCM/MindQ assessment platform
  2. Claude automatically named the project 'ultrathink-platform'
  3. User corrected that the project name should be 'MindQ'

Expected Behavior:
Claude should never use its internal feature names (like thinking modes) as project names unless explicitly requested by the user.

Actual Behavior:
Claude conflated its internal 'ultrathink' thinking mode with the user's project naming requirements.

Impact:

  • Causes confusion in project naming
  • Creates incorrect file structures and references
  • User has to manually correct the naming throughout the project

Additional Context:
This type of conflation between Claude's internal features and user projects should be prevented to avoid confusion and maintain clear separation between Claude's internal workings and user requirements.
