I keep a page of standing instructions my AI reads before every job. Three days after I trimmed it to 900 words, it was back to 1,758.

So I opened a fresh chat with no history, pasted the whole page, and asked it to read it like a stranger would. It found five lines promising things that existed nowhere, and one that sent me to a page that never mentioned it. It's handing your house rules to a new babysitter and watching where she squints.
What I ask a fresh chat now:
Quote every line that contradicts another line.
Quote every line that refers to something you can't find in what I gave you.
Tell me which lines you'd follow differently than I probably meant.
Then I fix the page, not the chat. Every line stayed in, and the page came out shorter.
Watch where she squints.
Every time something went sideways, I added a line (I'm the one adding them). Nobody went back to see whether the lines still agreed with each other. My AI follows what I give it, so a stale line is my stale line.
