Claude Style Patch - a drop-in Claude.md section to immediately improve Claude’s prose

A user observed a degradation in Claude's prose quality, particularly in long conversations on Claude.AI and task-focused work on Claude Code, starting with the Opus generations after 4.6. They noted documents were filled with "condensed, badly written Claudish." To address this, they developed a "Claude Style Patch," a drop-in Claude.md section designed to immediately improve Claude's prose, hoping it would be useful to others.

This user-created "style patch" offers a direct, community-driven solution to a perceived degradation in Claude's prose quality, unlike official updates that might take longer to address such issues.
