A user says Claude Code got worse after a prompt change
A Reddit problem report says Claude Code has recently become worse. The user blamed a possible system prompt change, but the item gives little detail or proof.
This is a short complaint from a ClaudeAI-related problem report list. The claim is that Claude Code regressed after changes to its system prompt. The item does not include a clear example, test case, or wider evidence. So this is not a major product update, but it is a small signal to watch if you depend on Claude Code for real work. For a solo maker, the practical move is simple: test it on a small task first, and review any code before using it in an important project.
