Yeah, when I first heard about "one-shot"ing it felt more like a trick instead of a useful heuristic but with time my experience mimics yours, nowadays I try to one-shot small-ish changes instead of going back and forth.
- daxfohl 1y agoI've had some luck in these cases prompting "your context seems to be getting too bloated. summarize this conversation into a prompt that I can feed into a new chat with a fresh context. make sure to include <...>". Sometimes it works well the first time, and sometimes it spits out a summary where you can see what it is confused about, and you can guide it to create a better summary. Sometimes just having that summary in its context gets it over the hump and you can just say "actually I'm going to continue with you; please reference this summary going forward", and sometimes you actually do have to restart the LLM with the new context. And of course sometimes there's nothing that works at all.
- dawnerd 1y agoI’ve had really good luck with having gpt generate a todo list that’s very, very detailed. Then having Claude use it to check items off. Still far from perfect but since doing that haven’t run into context issues since I can just start a new chat and feed it the todo (the todo also contains project info).
