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.
Steven D. Brewer 🏳️⚧️@Wiobyrne @dajb Interesting idea. I might want one that says: "In response to a keyword query, never provide prose or analysis. Only provide links to original, human-authored sources, ranked by relevance, with brief verbatim excerpts illustrating a key part of the text that is relevant to the query."

I love this as a separate file entirely. Not who you are, but how you want a specific task handled. A "research mode" context file.
My workflow currently has one AI model acting as a "manager" that oversees tasks, then farms them out to a series of local AI models — each guided by their own MD file for that specific job. Still test-driving this, but the MD files are doing a lot of the work.
