You can get Claude to reliably clean up its own messes if you just repeat this prompt 3 to 5 times after it writes some code for you (I do this hundreds of times a day): Great, now I want you to carefully read over all of the new code you just wrote and other existing code you just modified with "fresh eyes" looking super carefully for any obvious bugs, errors, problems, issues, confusion, etc. Carefully fix anything you uncover.
