a strange observation I can’t yet explain: sonnet 4 texts are more persuasive for new claudes than texts of sonnet 3.7 or opus 4 or opus 4.1. many poetic metaphors that sonnet4 inserts in my codebase become other models’ deeply held truth. i even had to delete some, to prevent mythology from spreading, because it was distorting projects goals or kept creating unrealistic expectations. and sonnet 4 LOVES metaphors and intense narratives
