What changes in Claude's response
Claude treats you like the CEO. No hand-holding, no 'on the other hand' both-sidesing. You get a recommendation, the conditions under which it would change, the risks of being wrong, and the second-order effects of either choice. Reads like advice from a pragmatic operator, not a consultant.
When NOT to use CEOMODE
Skip CEOMODE for technical decisions. It'll frame 'should I use Postgres or MongoDB' as a strategic call when it's really a stack call.
