Ever wonder what Claude Code is actually doing while burning through your tokens and forcing you to watch another YouTube video while waiting? Nobody knows, so I asked it directly.
It didn’t know what it was capable of, of course, but it bared its soul when I asked it to look inside (its installed plugin code) and told me what it *thinks* it does.

It insisted the list is definitive.
I disagree. ‘Hallucinating’ is not in there.
