I've recently asked claude to be concise in writing documents. It's brilliant for me. You get things like:

  <cmd> force-off  # pull the plug
No faffing around.


It may not be verbose, but it's still faffing around by using an idiom


Yes, I think the appropriate thing to do here would have been

  <cmd> force-off  # force off
All the brilliance of the original, but also no inappropriate idioms.


Idioms can be much more dense than otherwise.
