Important Updates

  • Update at Oct 11, 2025. With Claude Sonnet 4.5 and gpt-5-codex, I think I do not need beast mode anymore. Just give a hint, read doc from “https://” and follow the instruction, AI Coding Agent will handle the rest.

So what is Beast Mode?

It’s a typical prompt engineering / context engineering trick that allows you to get the most out of Claude Code or other code agents.

Reference:

How to enable Beast Mode?

for claude, gemini or qwen just copy, paste and run the following instruction in your claude code session:

1
2
3

Please list all files under https://gist.github.com/burkeholland/88af0249c4b6aff3820bf37898c8bacf by api.github.com, pick the latest beast mode version, and replace the toolcalls with your own tool calls. 

Then write the updated version into CLAUDE.md file, always follow the instructions/pattern.
