/b/ - Random

the real issue is that people treat it like a chat interface instead of an agentic loop . if you dont explicitly define the [file structure] and scope in the system prompt, it starts hallucinating imports from libraries that dont even exist. i started piping my grep -r "TODO". output directly into the context window to give it a roadmap. w/o that specific instruction, it just wanders around the codebase like a lost puppy.
>asking too vaguely

this is exactly why you get those generic boilerplate functions that fail on edge cases. are you using any specific XML tagging structures to separate your instructions from the codebase snippets?

the real trick is providing a

context_file.txt

with your existing architectural patterns so it stops guessing. if you don't define the naming conventions upfront, it just hallucinates its own style
