UPDATE: A special thanks to @MikkoPoikkileht and @Gipity-Steve for sharing their learning in two great threads below re agent 3 nightmares and how to get around it. I’ll shared my latest workaround there but I’ll also add it below. Agent & Assistant
This is my experience for working in existing codebase with Agent3 but I think it would work on new projects as well. I spent some time asking the agent to analyze its workflow after each change and tell me how it could improve. Also asked it to compare the policy to its own system instructions and report findings.
Hi Steve. I feel you! Similar experience. However, I’ve also been adapting through necessity.
Since I shared that initial prompt you mentioned in this thread that you later evolved, I also came across a post from @MikkoPoikkileht. I’ve commented in his thread, but I thought I’d share the same information here.
I’ve now combined your insights with Mikko’s awesome .md file and added the consolidated prompt as an .md file in my repo.
