I completely block all LLM comments via pi extension, it makes using them significantly more enjoyable. If the LLM wants to add a comment it must ASK me explicitly to do so.
Seeing LLM comments in other peoples code is very upsetting because theres just so much meaningless noise.
Its a personal extension i wrote myself, maybe I should put it up somewhere.. Its so simple though i dont know if its worth it vs just "go build it yourself"
What happens when the LLM tries to defy this? Is the file-write rejected, or does the extension just strip comments from what gets written, or just what?
I have it set up to pop up an approval dialogue that shows me the comments its trying to write and if i reject it the model is told essentially "no comments allowed, retry the patch without them."
It usually only takes one of those in the context for the model to reorient its behavior for future edits.
