system prompt: "you can just do things"
earlier I asked Opus 4.5 (in Claude Code) to fix a metric calculation as the right model wasn't on top (some gain calculation being wrong), and it came up with an even better solution. Reviewer 2 hates this one simple trick:

gonna try this a few more time this week, if it works every time then im declaring this as an undocumented twitter feature: steer your timeline with just a couple of tweets by RTing/replying.
