Claude Code says 'Done' but it doesn't work, lecture explains
Claude Code is a tool that lets users ask an AI to perform computer tasks. In a recent lecture, the speaker explained that the AI’s “It’s done” message is only a report, not evidence of successful execution. The lesson stresses that users should ask the AI to show the actual command output and verify it locally before proceeding. The lecture also highlights why failures occur when the local…
Key points
- Claude Code’s ‘Done’ is a report, not evidence.
- Ask the AI to show execution results to verify.
- Failures happen when local conditions differ from the AI’s test environment.
The talk is part of an “AI Failure Lecture” series that covers common pitfalls when using Claude Code. It includes practical advice, such as asking for the execution log and copying error messages verbatim to help the AI fix issues. The speaker encourages readers to share their own experiences with the “Done” message.
Overall, the lecture serves as a reminder that AI completion statements should not be taken at face value, and that verification is essential when automating code tasks.
