“Constrain all comments to a single block at the top of the file. Be concise.”

Or something similar that does not rely on negation.



I also include something about "Target the comments towards a staff engineer that favors concise comments that focus on the why, and only for code that might cause confusion."

I also try and get it to channel that energy into the doc strings, so it isn't buried in the source.


But I want no comments whatsoever, not one huge block of comments at the top of the file. How'd I get that without negation?

Besides, other models seems to handle negation correctly, not sure why it's so difficult for the Gemini family of models to understand.
