How these minds actually work: capabilities, limits, and the mental models that keep you honest. Ground truth before telescope time.
From plain asks to engineered context: instructions, references, and retrieved material, woven so the model attends to what matters.
Tools, MCP, and multi-step workflows: teaching the mind to run errands without losing the plot.
APIs, retrieval, evals, and shipping: where charts become instruments other people can steer by.
Daily habits, verification, taste — and the discipline of knowing when to leave the telescope covered.
Why stuffing more into the prompt makes models worse — and how to spend tokens where they earn their keep.
