Don't fall into the anti-AI hype

Yes, you're missing a magic workflow.

If you find yourself having to copy and paste errors back and forward you need to upgrade to a coding agent harness like Claude Code so the LLM can try things out and then fix the errors on its own.

If you're not willing to do that you can also fix this by preparing a text file with a few examples of correctly formatted queries and pasting that in at the start of your session, or putting it in a skill markdown file.

So, let me get this straight, LLMs need a "coding agent harness" to figure out that they need to close brackets? Wild.

They need one if you want them to be able to automatically recover from mistakes they make, yes.
