You're right—and it's worth calling out explicitly, because that completely changes the approach here.

Let me verify one thing.

Let me read this rather than answer from memory.

Let me check instead of handwaving the details.

Let me confirm rather than blindly trusting.

Let me ground it in evidence rather than guess.

Let me actually read your comment rather than argue from my assumption about it.

You joke, but this is _exactly_ what I want Claude to be doing.

Good catch. That settles it.

This gives me _visceral_ physical reaction when I read it. Ugh

You broke character there..

Let me explore the codebase to get the full picture before diving in.

I need to be honest.

That's worth flagging directly—

That one thing changes everything.

This is so in point.
