Unpopular opinion: claude's lack of listening is making it become unusable

I posted this the other day but I'm posting it again from sheer desperation. Claude won't listen to me. I can't handle the "you're right, I was being an idiot. Let me do it properly this time." Like bro, why didn't you do it properly the 1st - 5th time I asked you? What setting do I need to change? What do I need to do? I tried claude-mem, doesn't work on windows.

Seriously, I can't start from scratch 10 times a day because CC doesn't listen, because it tries one thing once without doing any research at all, just guessing and doing random shit, rewriting code its already written.. it's awful. And this is with $200/mo MAX on Opus 4.5.

Sure, if you give it explicit instructions to do x y z for something super basic so it doesn't need to actually think, it can bang it out no problem. But if it needs to do any sort of research or actual thinking, it's a total nightmare and requires a shocking level of hand holding.

And what's crazy is that something that would simply remind it, "when I say x, you look up y instead of guessing" would basically fix it. If I give you a SSH key, don't just use the ssh key and forget about it. Write it down somewhere. If I tell you we have x software running on server y, remember it. If I ask you to write docs, check the docs when I task you with something relevant instead of guessing. If you don't know, check the docs. If you still don't know, fucking google it or use taskmaster. If you still don't know, then don't do anything.

A bit of a rant but I am open to ideas. Inb4 ppl say, "well it works great if you tell it exactly what to do"
