I noticed that when opus 5.5 was on parts on my codebase that had lots of 5.0-generated comments, it picked up its style. Unfortunately I think 5.5 has been trained to mimic what it sees so that you can ease up on the instructions, but this does mean parts of your codebase that 5 touched will be somewhat viral.

I almost wonder if Claude reads that it “keeps responses focused, brief, and concise” and interprets that as built-in behavior and concludes that it doesn't need to spend additional effort enforcing it, just as it doesn't need to expend effort being “accessible via this web-based, mobile, or desktop chat interface”.

Definitely — the language comes pre-tokenized!

Do you really care if someone forgot to format before committing? They can always squash and push locally if they need to.
