i had the exact same problem as op , CC showed razzmatazing , analyzing and other B.S i was bit irked. then i tried pi agent after @mitsuhiko suggested it on YT , X and this issue went away. now pi tells me or shows me the entire action that the model takes. i would still want the actions to be summarized or the harness explain me a concept that i missed (evident from my context) - but thats probably too far fetched.
Sometimes it states "Gittifying...", the first time it happened to me I was smashing the Ctrl+C keys in panic.
When I first started using Claude I was pretty annoyed by the cute phrases. But when I built my own wrapper I started using them because I had gotten used to them. But added in a setting of course: [Fun Phrases Show playful status messages while waiting for responses. Disable to show only "Thinking..."]
Why Anthropic can't provide such a setting, we will never know!
It’s ridiculous, but they have recently introduced a feature to change the list of messages, so you can just set it to Working or similar now:
https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/6814#issuec...Anthropic is mocking developers here :)
They bothered to let you override default nonsense messages with custom messages, but they still don't want to let you see what you are actually interested in. The actual information is kept hidden.
Luckily, new open weight models from China caught up with Anthropic, so you can use a sane harness with a much cheaper subscription and never look back.
