Context fills up — fresh starts beat accumulated corrections.https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/018-commit-before-ai/Sat, 14 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/018-commit-before-ai/Git stash or commit first, so the agent's changes are always one git diff away from a clean state.https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/019-second-opinion-fresh-agent/Mon, 16 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/019-second-opinion-fresh-agent/Open a second session to re-ask the same question without baggage from earlier attempts.https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/020-superset-parallel-workspaces/Tue, 17 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/020-superset-parallel-workspaces/Use isolated workspaces so multiple agents can work on the same repo without stepping on each other.https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/022-deterministic-scripts/Wed, 18 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/022-deterministic-scripts/Deterministic tasks deserve deterministic scripts — not AI improvisation every session.https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/023-script-output-for-agents/Thu, 19 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/023-script-output-for-agents/Script output goes straight into the agent’s context window. Design it to say what happened and what to do next — not just what ran.https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/024-hooks-automate-agent-workflow/Thu, 16 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://kjetiljd.github.io/ai-for-coding/tips/024-hooks-automate-agent-workflow/Hooks are shell commands that fire automatically at agent lifecycle points — before/after a tool runs, on session start, on finish. Unlike instruction files, they’re deterministic. Enforce your venv rule, run tests after edits, get a desktop notification when the agent is done.
