Start Fresh When Stuck

If a thread has too many failed attempts, the context gets noisy. A new thread with a clean prompt often works better.

Be Specific About Testing

Tell ami exactly which test command to run:
❌ Avoid✅ Preferred
”Run the tests""Run npm test -- --watch and fix failures”

Include Lint Commands in AGENTS.md

ami runs lint commands automatically after making changes if it knows what commands to use.

Use Plan Mode for Exploration

When you’re unsure how to approach something, switch to Plan Mode first. Get a plan, review it, then switch to Agent Mode to execute.

Attach Relevant Files Upfront

If you know which files matter, mention them in your first message. It saves ami from searching.

Let ami See Your Errors

Paste error messages, stack traces, or screenshots directly. The more context, the better the fix.
