What you get

Answer first

Every reply opens with the result. No preamble, no recap, no closing offer.

Depth when you ask

Say "in depth" and you get the full treatment. Errors, risks and safety steps are never cut.

Measured

A meter checks every reply and nudges Claude when it runs long. Code arrives without narration.

Benchmarked: 6.3.1

Against default Claude Code on the 5.5 models. Every case run twice; single-turn replies graded blind.

Less of everything

Reduction against default, depth question excluded

Key points covered

No reply was judged too terse

Where the cost goes

Cost against default by kind of session. Left of the line is cheaper.
