I'm clearly way too polite to Claude.

Also:

  // Match "continue" only if it's the entire prompt
  if (lowerInput === 'continue') {
    return true
  }
When it runs into an error, I sometimes tell it "Continue", but sometimes I give it some extra information. Or I put a period behind it. That clearly doesn't give the same behaviour.

I always type "please continue". I guess being polite is not a good idea.

The only time that function is used in the code is to log it.

    logEvent('tengu_input_prompt', { isNegative, isKeepGoing })

Makes me wonder what happens once flagged behind the api.

“Go on” works fine too
