Hmm…if you’re giving only one prompt to Claude Code, and allowing it only one output, then I’m no longer baffled at why you’re not getting good results. That’s

  I mean, I don’t know how much less scope I can give it. The next step is writing the 5 lines of code I want it to write. I also clearly said I didn’t allow it one output, I gave it the compile error message, it changed a different line, I told it it was at the affected line and to check the docs. Claude code then tried to query the DLL for the function, abandoned that and then did something else incorrect. I’m literally asking it to install a package and copy the example from the readme

    I understand (and don’t know what to say beyond “that’s weird”). I was just reacting to your equating “the first try sometimes doesn’t compile” with “it often fails”. That’s only a failure if you stop at that point.

      In the first comment you’ll see that it didn’t compile, I prompted to fix it and eventually fixed it myself. When I asked it to proceed to the next task it blew away my fix and left it in a broken state.
