The fastest way to redirect Claude when its answer is off-target is the phrase “No, what I meant was…”.
It’s a short, unambiguous signal that means: “don’t keep building on what you just did — back up and try again.”
Don’t re-paste the whole . Don’t apologise. Don’t /clear. Just:
No, what I meant was — the bug is in the frontend rendering, not the backend query. The data is fine; the chart just isn’t picking it up.
Claude reads that as a hard correction and pivots. Far better than letting it build a wrong solution further or starting over from scratch.
