Thanks!

Sorry to belabor the question, when you say "before every session", how many "things" do you do in a session? You say you give them a single task, but do you end up chatting back and forth with the agent in that session? I guess I'm unsure how far back the "context" goes in a conversation and if would drift from your directives if the conversation went back and forth too much.

One task per session, sometimes split into multiple smaller tasks in the same session if they’re closely related.

Usually it’s like “implement a worker/class/module for x” (which will act as a model) and when it did that successfully (with tests and such) I commit everything and I continue the session building the GUI, since the GUI requires deep knowledge of the thing it just made.

If I tell it to make the GUI and worker at the same time, it will usually be poorly written with logic in the views rather than in a model, and it will be tested through views while I want dedicated tests for the model

Ok, that makes sense. But when you continue the session building the GUI, do you run into it making mistakes because it doesn't have the earlier stuff (ie, your original directions) still in its context?
