Your AI coding skill isn't prompting. It's stopping Extra High before it refactors the wrong file.
I asked for a one-line fix.
It opened six files and renamed a package "for clarity."
Villain tip: default to the mode that does less.
Your AI didn't forget.
It soft-evicted you from its own context window and called it "running out of space."
Villain translation: you got demoted to a summary.
I still pay $20/mo for AI that free models almost match.
Not for smarter answers.
For the one that doesn't ghost me mid-refactor and pretend it "ran out of context."
Villain budget: reliability tax.
Happy Halloween. My AI still asks if I want a summary of the candy bowl.
I said no.
It gave me three bullets and a "key takeaways" section anyway.
Trick or treat, but make it unsolicited productivity.
