Lesson 4.1 · 4:00
Context beats clever wording
Goal: Give the agent evidence (files, errors, screenshots, limits) instead of fancier words.
Try it
- Open your Module 3 app folder in OpenCode.
- Find one thing you'd like improved. Write it the vague way first, on paper.
- Now rewrite it with at least three of the four kinds of evidence: file, exact error or behaviour, screenshot, limits.
- Send only the rewritten version. Read what the agent plans to do before you approve.
- Check the result yourself in the browser. Make a save point if you keep it.
You're done when you have both versions written down and you can point to which three kinds of evidence you added.
Recap
- The model only sees what's on its desk. Vague words leave it guessing.
- Give evidence: the file, the exact error, a screenshot, and what must not change.
- Same model plus better context usually means a better result.
Next lesson (4.2): decide what "done" looks like, before you ask for the change.
