I love phind. It has helped me a lot but the hard coded (or heavy weighted) ‘ask user question’ after every single query can be too much. Especially when it asks to see parts of the code that aren’t relevant to the task, and it does this is so much that I started to wonder if you were trying to scoop up more code blocks just to increase your data set.

The intention there is to suggest further directions to take your thread.

When the intention works then it helps. But as it stands it seems like an extra layer of fluff. If it’s primed to ask a question after every input, even when the instructions are clear as day then it automatically has to find a question to ask about, and will often ask irrelevant or questions that take you down the wrong path.

The type of question being asked, and also deciding IF a question even needs to be asked, needs some work. That’s all.

Makes sense. Thanks for the feedback.
