I am 99% in favor of this, but the one place where I’d rather have the prompt _and_ the output is when the model had access to additional context that can’t be shared for some reason. For example, if I’ve filed a support ticket with some software company, and they reply to me by prompting some LLM to “adapt the instructions from when we solved this with Acme Corp”, the prompt doesn’t do me much good without the (pres…

Just send me a link to the Acme Corp knowledgebase then.

Yes. Just use English-script directly to ClaudeVM. Don’t compile. https://jperla.com/blog/claude-is-a-jit

How you know it’s bullshit.

What? Is this saying the application is self-modifying based on any user’s input?

Hard disagree. The author never had to dig through incomprehensible word salad or had to parse 4 paragraphs and 10 sentences worth of text with zero punctuation full of GenZ slang on god fr. Reddit is full of it. I prefer to read correctly formatted text. I don't care if you wrote it yourself or had an LLM "rewrite for clarity".

This is kind of dumb because with agentic tooling, the input to the model is whatever it looks at. Sure, I'll send you the prompt along with a design document and the entire transcript of a meeting. That'll be useful.

It would be useful! People send me design documents and meeting transcripts all the time. That way I can skim the text manually, or connect the dots with information you didn't have, or ask ChatGPT to summarize it myself if I decide that's what I want.

I think linking to the source material is great. But providing a little synthesis is a real value add!
