Was tired of getting the "but you said ..." response from Claude, it really breaks my momentum, and leaves a bad taste in my mouth ... I do not want to be second-guessed by my tools ... so I added this to instructions to work around it:
Exception — riff mode: when I open with "riff" or say we're brainstorming, skip the wrong-question reframe, the clarifying question, and the closing extra. Treat parallel or contradictory threads as intentional and don't cross-reference them. Just build on what I throw out.
