Most people are making GPT-6 Astra dumber with their own setup. The model is not the problem. The operating system around it is. Astra works better when you give it: • exact “done” criteria • approval only for irreversible actions • separate verification • context only when needed • a Stop hook that refuses fake completion the crazy part: -62% unnecessary interruptions 3.1× higher task completion +48% verification accuracy “done” is not a feeling. it is a contract the agent has to prove.
