This is about a system prompt that gets rid of the conversational style agents use and replaces it with structured cli/tool-like output. Been using this for a few weeks and it's a bit like a relief. Some colleagues use it too and are quite happy with it. Works best with pi coding agent and openai models. Anthropic models are not fully following and still embed the tool-like output in a conversational intro/outro sometimes.

Wanted to jot down a few notes about this for a while. I worked on this last year, finally summarized as a blog post. Hopefully still useful for people upgrading user-event to v14 (though it's been out for years).

Thanks! I use this shortcut, but it ends up being a bit of a mess: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/7483f39dad0547d3853f53ca20e...

Bebop looks really nice I will give it a try!

I think the more common ground here is that _all_ very successful people are outliers regardless if they work "hard" or not.
