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.

@glassware In my experience, it seems to. It's all fuzzy anyway, but I've had it hallucinate APIs less regularly since adding that to my prompts. I have also done A/B tests in that sometimes, with Claude, I forget switching to my own prompt and see it spew random verbal diarrhea, go back and switch and it's better.

It doesn't have feelings, but it does have certainty of prediction in terms of probability of continuation. I think it does influence that.
