This is cool, thank you!

Some things I found from my own interactions across multiple models (in addition to above):

- It's basically all about the importance of (3). You need a feedback loop (we all do). and the best way is for it to change things and see the effects (ideally also against a good baseline like a test suite where it can roughly guage how close or far it is from the goal.) For assembly, a debugger/tracer works great (using batch-mode or scripts as models/tooling often choke on such interactivie TUI io).

- If it keeps missing the mark tell it to decorate the code with a file log recording all the info it needs to understand what's happening. Its analysis of such logs normally zeroes the solution pretty quickly, especially for complex tasks.

- If it's really struggling, tell it to sketch out a full plan in pseudocode, and explain why that will work, and analyze for any gotchas. Then to analayze the differences between the current implementation and the ideal it just worked out. This often helps get it unblocked.
