The workflow you get with this is that it helps you to think about what you really want answered with the prompt.

For example, latest try had this initial prompt:

> How can I create collisions in Bevy and Rust?

After 4-5 messages back and forth, I ended up with:

> What is the most efficient method to implement 2D collision detection for a large number of constant-radius circles randomly distributed in Bevy and Rust without using third-party tools, focusing on detection only, without any unique properties or attributes affecting the detection process?

Which is much more explicit and targeted to what I initially wanted to do, but didn't write. It ended up helping me implement a Quadtree solution which I don't have any experience with before, but overall it went smoothly.

How do you know that the prompt you got to is at least a local maximum? Would chancing "method" to "function" provide better results? Did you do any benchmarking?

The aim is not any local maximum, is improving the prompt by getting help providing more context.

That's a pretty bad optimizer then.
