ur not lazy enough and it shows: why prompting is bbg
if you know what slash commands are this post isnt for you --- when i say "you're not lazy enough" i mean this lovingly, baby bird you're doing unpaid labor community service for anthropics repeating a prompt is proof you found something reusable so use it. slash commands are how you get good by being lazy once you get a taste of what slash commands can do you're gonna go full humpback chunk on them, i promise. WHATS A SLASH COMMAND? - a command you save in your docs/ folder that you can call at anytime. - anytime you notice yourself prompting the same thing to an agent, copy it to docs/ and name it something short-n-sweet - use it WHEN TO USE A SLASH COMMAND? YOU KEEP MAKING BUDDY WEAR THE SAME HAT You keep giving him an _identity_ like "you're a workspace auditor with..." then keep re-asking him to look for layer confusion, bloated docs, stale shit any rules u thought u added but didnt - all that stuff. Now it's /audit-context YOU KEEP ASKING LOOK BEFORE TOUCH if you keep saying "look around first before touching anything." "find the root docs, context files, major folders, active work, stable refs, and weird routing instructions" blah blah blah blah save ur fingers papa that's /map and move on. YOU KEEP SAYING DO NOT EDIT YET if your always sayin shit like "don't edit yet, just look, this is a read task only" you just need to send your little buddy on a /recon mission. u needed some space after the fifteenth shit iteration, we've all been there king. YOU KEEP ASKING FOR THE SAME PLAN if you keep asking "what should we change and why?" /propose-cleanup make it explain the smallest, safest fix, what files would change, what it prevents, and what it absolutely will not touch. this is when you need a clipboard instead of a chainsaw YOU KEEP REPEATING THE SAME PERMISSION RULES if you have to tell him over and over to only touch things you approve, just make it /apply-approved, outline the exact plan, what to touch and not touch, to stop if its ambiguous, report every file touch.
