My minimal LLM instructions. These are the current ones for @jetbrains IDEs with their in-IDE AI in particular.
LLMs overengineer so easily. They have verbal diarrhea so readily. They have comments like “set a to 1” for lines like “a = 1” all the time.
This prompt reins them in … somewhat.
That was a rethorical statement. When you’re good at this, chatgpt isn’t much help.
