Given examples of desired output, automatically discover the best system prompt for any LLM task.
Any codebase that uses LLMs has prompts — for text generation, data transformation, classification, summarization. These prompts are hand-written, manually iterated, and frozen. When requirements shift or quality degrades, a developer tweaks the prompt by hand again. There's no systematic way for agents to self-optimize their own prompts given examples of what good output looks like.
A pattern for building personal knowledge bases using LLMs. Extended with lessons from building agentmemory, a persistent memory engine for AI coding agents.
This builds on Andrej Karpathy's original LLM Wiki idea file. Everything in the original still applies. This document adds what we learned running the pattern in production: what breaks at scale, what's missing, and what separates a wiki that stays useful from one that rots.
The core insight is correct: stop re-deriving, start compiling. RAG retrieves and forgets. A wiki accumulates and compounds. The three-layer architecture (raw sources, wiki, schema) works. The operations (ingest, query, lint) cover the basics. If you haven't read the original, start there.

| # patch-claude-code.sh — Rebalance Claude Code prompts to fix corner-cutting behavior | |
| # | |
| # What this does: | |
| # Patches the npm-installed @anthropic-ai/claude-code cli.js to rebalance | |
| # system prompt instructions that cause the model to cut corners, simplify | |
| # excessively, and defer complicated work. | |

Produced by claude based on my extensive data - if there's any issues, it's because anthropic doesn't let claude think anymore ;) Unfortunately claude deleted my January logs containing a bulk of my work so only summary analysis is available - January was what I expect, Febuary started sliding, and March was a complete and utter loss.
Quantitative analysis of 17,871 thinking blocks and 234,760 tool calls across
6,852 Claude Code session files reveals that the rollout of thinking content
redaction (redact-thinking-2026-02-12) correlates precisely with a measured
quality regression in complex, long-session engineering workflows.

Auto mode replaces the human "approve/deny" permission prompt with an ML classifier that evaluates every tool call before execution. Instead of asking you whether rm -rf node_modules is okay, a second instance of Claude (Sonnet 4.6) reads the conversation transcript and decides in real time.
This document walks through how it works, from the high-level architecture down to the actual code.
