Before / After
Help me set this up.
OPERATOR Set up a new TypeScript project with ESLint, Prettier, and Vitest. Make all reasonable choices yourself.
What changes in Claude's response
Claude runs the entire task: every command, every file, every config — without stopping every 30 seconds to confirm. When it has to make a choice, it picks the most common one, tells you what it picked, and keeps going. You can correct at the end if needed.
When NOT to use OPERATOR
Don't OPERATOR tasks where defaults matter to you. If your team uses Yarn instead of npm, OPERATOR will probably pick npm and you'll have to redo it.
