Prompting
Good Open Interpreter prompts are concrete. Include the observed problem, the expected behavior, constraints, and verification commands.
Bug Fix Template
Bug: Clicking Save shows success but does not persist the setting.
Repro:
1. npm run dev
2. Open /settings
3. Toggle Enable alerts
4. Click Save
5. Refresh; the toggle resets
Constraints:
- Do not change the API shape.
- Keep the patch minimal.
- Add a regression test if practical.
Start by reproducing, then patch, then rerun the repro and tests.Better Than Vague Requests
Prefer "run pnpm test -- auth and fix the failing refresh-token test" over
"fix auth." Prefer "do not touch migrations" over assuming the agent knows that
constraint.
Use Files
Mention files with @ in the TUI or attach relevant files/images from the
command line. Keep context focused; too much irrelevant context makes the task
harder.
