Speaking of, I wonder if and how many of the existing frontends, interfaces and support packages that generalize over multiple LLMs, and include Anthropic, actually know how to prompt it correctly. Seems like most developers missed the memo on https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-..., and I regularly end up in situation in which I wish they gave more minute control on how the request is assembled (proprietary), and/or am considering gutting the app/library myself (OSS; looking at you, Aider), just to have file uploads, or tools, or whatever other smarts the app/library does, encoded in a way that uses Claude to its full potential.

I sometimes wonder how many other model or vendor-specific improvements there are, that are missed by third-party tools despite being well-documented by the vendors.

In a field like this the self-doubt of "surely it wouldn't be this broken, I must just be holding it wrong" is strong.
