I am often wrong

    Haven't seen any Claude Code specific examples of Boris admitting he's wrong and then actually fixing things in the way the community wants.

    There are mind blowing bugs in CC that go unaddressed for months.

    Something like 15-20% of all Fable messages in CC are invisible to users. You've most likely noticed this when Claude references something it said but it never said it?

    It happens frequently when Fable outputs a message above a certain number of tokens just before doing a tool call.

    This has been going on for months. If "users can't see messages the agent sends" isn't a critical issue that gets addressed within 24 hours, I don't really care if you admit you're often wrong, we know.

      Author here. How can I repro what you’re seeing? Double check you don’t have /focus mode enabled.

        Which one of multiple GitHub issues on this topic should I link to?

        #67071 is one of them

        Or #83281 which you closed as a duplicate of #67051 which was closed as not planned.

        There's a bunch more. Just ask Claude to search repo issues for messages not being shown.

            Are there days when you forget to apply your framework or you feel lazy and cheat/shortcut parts/all of the framework?

              Fairly often, yeah. Sometimes it is too easy to get excited about a solution without taking the time to specify a clear problem/goal.
