Anyone else notice Claude Sonnet 4.5 writing way too much lately? Here’s how I fixed it.
Yesterday I had it research an implementation in my code base to then implement an enhancement. When it was done exploring, it wrote a huge “research summary” document and then a huge “implementation plan” document. I didn’t like the plan it came up with so it wrote a totally separate “updated plan” document. Then when it was done it wrote an “implementation summary” document and a “user guide” document. It’s insane. I even added a Claude Rule similar to yours saying not to write documents like these unless absolutely needed and helpful. Such a waste of tokens. More on reddit.com

Lately, Claude Sonnet 4.5 kept generating tons of stuff I didn’t ask for (extra docs, summaries, JSON plans, etc.) It looked smart but was actually useless i did not need it and on top of that it burned through my credits fast.

What fixed it: I went to Settings then General then “What personal preferences should Claude consider in responses?” and added a short note asking for concise answers, only what I request.

  • "Keep responses concise and focused. Provide only what I explicitly request."

  • "Avoid generating extra documents, summaries, or plans unless I specifically ask for them."

Now it’s back to normal, focused, shorter, and way cheaper in tokens. Curious if others saw the same overproduction issue or if it was just me?

Models overview - Claude Docs
Once you've picked a model, learn how to make your first API call. 1 - Aliases automatically point to the most recent model snapshot. When we release new model snapshots, we migrate aliases to point to the newest version of a model, typically within a week of the new release. While aliases are useful for experimentation, we recommend using specific model versions (e.g., claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929) in production applications to ensure consistent behavior.

r/GithubCopilot on Reddit: Claude Sonnet 4.5 (preview) in GitHub Copilot is addicted to “comprehensive summary documents”
October 3, 2025 -

Been trying out the new Claude Sonnet 4.5 coding agent in GitHub Copilot. Honestly? It’s incredibly good fast at coding, nails fixes, feels like cheating sometimes.

But it has this one hilarious quirk: every tiny request, even a one-line bug fix, and it’s like, “Sure, here’s your code... oh, and also a comprehensive summary document in Markdown.” and this happens several times in one session so the .md files keep piling up quick.

So you end up with perfect code and a project report you never asked for. Not a dealbreaker, just funny that "best coding model in the world" also moonlights as your unsolicited technical writer.

I am using this feature HEAVILY to my advantage and it literally transforms Sonnet into the best three senior developers that I've ever had working for me. I promise that if you try this approach, you will never look back: Get Sonnet to create a PHASED "feature planning" document for a single WELL-DEFINED ticket (I've got it to talk to Jira via powershell. If you're using git issues, it has native access to those), to include a section on progress and another on questions for clarification. The resultant file goes into a .gitignored folder and is named in line with the ticket number. I've updated the .github/copilot-instructions.md to understand all this. Next, open N x Visual Studios (for me N is 3, maybe start with 1!) and each on a different worktree. If you're not familiar with worktrees, they let you use one local repo, but with different folders on different branches. Now rotate amongst them. This is HIGHLY efficient. Yes it churns tokens. Yes it's worth it! When each planning document has no more clarifying questions, let it set about each phase with copilot-instructions. I get it to use me to validate completeness of the phase before proceeding to the next. I use regular staging / commits to carefully manage its progress and have no qualms about ditching changes in git, resetting the conversation and just say "we're working on XY-12345. . Update the plans and continue". Because the plan/progress document is being kept up to date, you can interrupt progress, suffer IDE crashes without impact etc. Finally, once the feature is complete, have it: Attach the .md to the ticket Write a test plan Pass the ticket to Q/A Clean up after itself. Side note. Use Windows H to work at the speed of thought, but also to permit you to stop and think without having a ChatGPT-like experience of the AI hating silence and talking to fill the gaps. Suggestion: Create a ticket in your ticketing system with a hyperlink to this comment and ask it to PLAN how you and they can work together better in future. Tl;Dr: Documentation is good, and embracing that will make you a better software engineer.
