I had the LLM write a bash script for me that used my https://shot-scraper.datasette.io/ tool - on the basis that it was a neat opportunity to demonstrate another of my own projects.

And honestly, even with LLM assistance getting Image Magick to output a 1200x600 image with two SVGs next to each other that are correctly resized to fill their half of the image sounds pretty tricky. Probably easier (for Claude) to achieve with HTML and CSS.

Isn't "left or right" _followed_ by rationale asking it to rationalize it's 1 word answer - I thought we need to get AI to do the chain of though _before_ giving it's answer for it to be more accurate?

Yes it is - I would likely have gotten better results if I'd asked for the rationale first.

FWIW, the next project I want to look at after my current two, is a command-line tool to make this sort of thing easier. Likely featuring some sort of Lisp-like DSL to describe what to do with the input images.
