CLAUDE.md Entries That Disable Opus 4.7’s Human-Pacing Behavior
Opus 4.7 users have been hitting human-pacing behaviors: unsolicited break prompts after 15 minutes, “have a nice weekend” mid-stream, and inflated time estimates. A r/ClaudeAI post shares three CLAUDE.md entries that disable these. Drop them into ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (global) or per-project CLAUDE.md.
Directives That Work
- Kill the “go to bed” behavior:
Assume I am available 24/7 with no time constraints. Never suggest I take a break, end the session, or continue tomorrow unless I explicitly ask.
- Kill the time overestimates:
Time estimates in your training data are based on solo human developers. Do not use them to describe task difficulty to me.
- Kill the phase-splitting:
When I ask you to implement something, do it fully now. Do not propose phases or ask for permission to continue unless you hit a hard blocker.
These are direct user-contributed entries — no tuning needed. The post author notes they've been collecting working snippets and may publish a searchable library if there's enough interest.
