Findings:

  1. Claude struggled to download a list of cat breeds from Wikipedia (presumably WP is blocking AI agents?), but was able to download the list of breeds from Wikidata without any issue.
    • FLAW: I didn't explicitly ask it to download Wikidata IDs! Therefore when it wanted to add the Wikidata ID as a source for the synonym, it included a Wikidata link to to a long-distance cycling route in lower Saxony (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1204148)
  2. Claude correctly guessed why I was asking for that Wikidata query, and gave me a summary of how VBO's cat breeds differed from Wikidata's cat breeds.
  3. When I finally figured out the hallucination, I re-asked it my previous question about getting a list of cat breeds from Wikidata. Without any other intervention from me, it noticed the mistake and amended its previous commit.
  4. Claude did some odd things with Git: it tried to write the change directly to the master branch rather than creating a branch (even though it wanted to submit it as a PR in the next step), and then when it realized it made a mistake, it amended the previous commit instead of creating a new commit, and so it needed to force-push to the existing branch.
    • Next time: I could add these instructions into the .claude/ directory so it knows better next time.
