Always Ground Your Responses

There's probably a better prompt than that! Like tell Claude exactly what you want it to do to "ground" things.

(I have trouble with other senses of that word. It is a pet peeve of mine as a pagan that we do "grounding" exercises as part of forming a circle and usually these are weak beer... I think "grounding" is something you need to practice every day, maybe even every hour, and my version of "grounding" has safety and responsibility issues because it changes the way people perceive me so I have to deal with people mistaking me for their friends who have recently passed away, people around me getting confused, like I can see the little birds and stars circling around their head, and most recently dogs taking an interest in me like they know if they stick around they're going to see a person transform into a Huli Jing)
