A useful(ish) trick I've found is adding a persona block to my CLAUDE.md. When it stops addressing me as 'meatbag' I know the HK-47 persona instructions are not being followed, which means other instructions are not being followed. Dumb trick? Yup. Does it work? Kinda? Does it make programming a lot more fun and funny? Heck yes.

Don't lecture me on basins of attraction--we all know HK is a great programmer.
