Half of this feels like a communication/empathy problem. "Summarise this for someone without our context" fixes the wall of text, and just asking someone to do that might work.
Validation is harder, as nobody skips it because they weren't told to, but because relaying is faster, and unread output looks like validated output right up until it bites. That's probably not solved by asking nicely, I don't think there's a process fix for that beyond people actually being held to it.
So strange, i've been using Opus 4.7 in Claude code all day today and i've had no malware related comments or issues at all. It's been performing noticably better, and picking up on things it wasn't before. Maybe because i'm using xhigh effort, but i'm super happy with this update!
I thought the same thing until I hit my rate limit dramatically faster than before. With the way it burns tokens it's much less usable on the $20 plan.
