How to Use

I haven't received enough feedback nor performed enough real-world testing on these skills. Here is how these skills are intended to be used:

clrs

For small models, provide solid algorithmic knowledge to prevent hallucinations. For larger ones, provide a comprehensive analytical framework to prevent premature conclusions or the skipping of important details.

sicp

Helpful at the design or refactoring stage. Guide models to identify problematic patterns and to make potentially beneficial yet uncommon refactoring decisions that are seen less in the language's training data.
