alt Hacker NewsThats fine but then Fable 5 should have requested this information instead of blundering along. So why didn't it? An expert human asked to do the same task would have surely asked for the additional data.

No one said Fable 5 is human.
That's like saying Fable 5 should have told me how to prompt it to solve the Riemann hypothesis like Terence Tao would. The skill of the user still matters.

Sure, but it didn't. And you get way better results if you do that, so do that.

Let me translate this for you:
"I have not spent the time cultivating the soft skills necessary to leverage this tool successfully therefore it's the tool that sucks."

That's what I add at the end of my prompts: "Ask me questions on anything that's not clear related to this task" or similar. Both the CLI and the VSCode plugin have a nice interface designed for this, asking the user questions.
