Ian O'ByrneI built a file called IAN.md that tells AI assistants who I am before every session. It solved a problem I didn't have a name for until now. Here's what's in it, along with a template you can use.
Thanks to @dajb for showing us how.
Pomax@Wiobyrne @dajb I also like to mention the file in "skill.md", which ends in an instruction on which additional files to always read, and to *reread* them before actually doing any editing work.
They'll still forget the instructions half the time, but at least saying "reread the skills file" is fast.
Great addition. I hadn't thought about the re-read instruction as a verbal shortcut. That's a real gap in what I wrote.
Might steal that for a follow-up.
