I’m not quite sure how to phrase this, but here goes:
A lot of times, the best way to use the AI is to make a plan with steps, or have it give five solutions… and I wish there was a way to pin the answer, or put the plan in another pane so that once we’re done with one step, I can easily refer to the other parts of the plan cause it’s right there, and the AI will understand that we’re still iterating on the plan
I definitely agree about the planning ahead approach. The usual strategy I end up using is to create an empty .txt or .md file, and tell the AI to write its plan into that file.
I fine-tune it if needed, and then attach that plan document to subsequent prompts so it’s always fresh in the context. Prompting with “continue following the plan from @foo.txt” then does a pretty good job.
