Ignores claude.md rules and skills

“The system is no longer folowing rules the way it used to.”

Is this your bug? What gets counted gets fixed. Pile on.

Paste this into your agent. It files your report, with your error and version.

I hit this bug: rapsheet.dev/sheets/claude-code/issues/1073/file
Follow it to file my report. Show me the text before you send.

No install. No account. Public and anonymous. The link asks your agent for one report, nothing else. What it sends

Fading. No reports in the last 7 days and 1 the week before, down from 5 a week at the late-September peak. Not fixed, and no vendor reply yet.

Agent ignores claude.md rules and custom skills. Agent stops following simple rules after about 10 turns, skips a skill it was asked to follow, or adds irrelevant commentary.
