Bug Description
the overexplaining is killing me! i get wall o' text responses to literally everything when a one-line response would do. i have a line in claude.md that says: "i'm your boss and have limited time. if you want to keep your job, give me only the information i absolutely need and no more or you get fired". I shouldn't have to tell claude this.
