Github overview of a pull request for the file AGENTS.md.

Comments regarding line "# Repository Guidelines" in the file:

zanieb: "What's the point of this title? Seems like wasted tokens?"

zanieb: "(certainly inconsequential in the big scheme, but I don't see it adding value)"

charliemarsh: "It ensures that the agent does a good job."

Without this, we wouldn't be sure the agent does a good job!

So now we learned how to make simple guidelines / docs

Everyone knows you have to tell it "don't make mistakes".

There are a shockingly high number of people who believe this kind of thing genuinely affects output from LLMs.

I think the reason is simple: if you ask the LLM, it'll tell you it's a good idea.

"DO NOT HALLUCINATE"

Do a good job

Sorted.

Be GOD.

Nothing can beat that!

Ahh, the "git gud" gamer hack also applies to sloperations? Good to know!

git config —global alias.gud “reset —hard @{upstream}”

You are a monster. Nice work!

that's just good form, regardless of who's reading the md

  • MD041 - First line in a file should be a top-level heading
  • MD002 - First header should be a h1 header
  • MD025 - Multiple top level headers in the same document

that whole line is 3 tokens btw, they're wasting more time and energy just discussing that

damn, Charlie really fell off
