Simple habit I’ve picked up with the advent of vibing: add a description of goals, constraints, extra context, etc in a big comment at the top of my scripts.

Firstly it’s just helpful when you pick up that dusty script from a year ago, but second it lets you be shorter with your prompts to your assistant. When an agent reads your script it can pull that in and help ground it each time you vibe on it.

Also nice to have an agent polish the UX while in there. Sometimes I’m lazy and hardcode strings (like dir paths) because I’ll probably just throw away the script afterwards anyway, but if an LLM can generalize it and add comments and SEO labels then I can add it to a collection that I’ll probably never use.
