Claudette: Make Claude stop talking like a BuzzFeed article(github.com)
286 points by aakil 20 hours ago | 186 comments
tl;dr: A developer built `/debuzz`, a Claude Code skill that pipes Claude's verbose, clickbait-style responses through Google's Antigravity CLI (running Gemini) to rewrite them in plain English. It offers three modes—colleague, manager, and director—tailored to different audiences, and prints Gemini's output verbatim to avoid Claude reintroducing its own theatrical voice. Install via git clone and requires the `agy` CLI with Google auth.
HN Discussion:
  • ~Prompt-based word limits are a simpler alternative to fix Claude's verbosity
  • Anthropic should address widespread hatred of Claude's writing style as a product issue
  • Users expect Anthropic will fix this in upcoming releases
  • Claude's verbose style isn't a big problem and has useful signaling value
  • Interest in local LLM alternatives to avoid paying Gemini token costs
