Field Notes

Record real mistakes and fixes to build reusable experience.

  • Symptom: what failed in the output.
  • Trigger: what prompt/input/process caused it.
  • Fix: what was changed (prompt params, tool setup, workflow step).
  • Rule: what to keep as a repeatable guardrail.

Common pitfalls

  1. No acceptance criteria before generation.
  2. Context is too long, key constraints get diluted.
  3. AI output is treated as fact without verification.
