There's no excuse to complain about bad software these days. Fork Gitea, and make your own GitHub actions, it should take a day with coding agents.


Is exe.dev just a better version of sketch.dev or do they both have a different use case?


Should I still be trying Sketch.dev, or is this just the better version of it?


[exe.dev co-founder here] This grew out of our work on sketch. We built a container-based system for it, and found ourselves saying "I wish we just had a computer." This is our answer to that.

If you are interested in our work and agents, I would suggest trying Shelley, the little agent we have in exe.dev. There has been some discussion about what to do with sketch on its discord channel, but we won't be putting energy into it going forward.

(A blog post with far more details is in the works.)

Can you share the outline of your prompt. Obviously not anything personal but I'd like to see an example of how you give it your values and goals.


I don't understand the nuances of prompting. I literally talk to it like I would a person.

I say "My values are [ ], and I want to make sure when I do things they are aligned."

And then later, I will say "I did this today, how does that align with the values I mentioned earlier?" [and we talk]

I am most definitely not qualified for one of those prompt engineering jobs. Lol. I am typing English into a chat box. No A/B testing, etc. If I don't like what it does I give it a rule to not do that anymore by saying "Please don't [ ] when you reply to me."

There is almost definitely a better way, but I'm just chatting with it. Asking it to roleplay or play a game seems to work. It loves to follow rules inside the context of "just playing a game".

This is probably too abstract to be meaningful though.

That's a prompt; and one I don't think I would have tried, even from your first post.

Prompting overall is still quite experimental. There are patterns that generally work, but you often have to just try several different approaches. If you find a prompt works well, it's worth sharing.
