Taelin @VictorTaelin · 59m I swear this transforms base metals into gold: For every decision, ask what the best expert in that field would do and why they would reject your current choice; if you can name that reason, don't make the choice. Optimize for what that expert would judge correct, never for what satisfies the stated constraints most cheaply. Every trade-off you take must be stated to the user, never absorbed. specially if injected on each message (not on AGENTS.md)
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
Victor Taelin tweet sharing a prompt instruction for coding agents (consult what the best expert would do, state every trade-off to the user) and recommending injecting it on each message rather than in AGENTS.md.
