Vibe Coding Workflows Worth Copying

How do you get an AI agent back on track when it loses context in a long chat?

The post asks members who do not write code what they do when an AI agent loses track of a long chat and starts adding new bugs instead of fixing the old ones. It drew 299 comments. The most liked answers say to stop relying on long chats: keep sessions short, move project knowledge into instructions, skills and documentation files, and keep the code in GitHub so nothing depends on the chat's memory. One member disagreed and said newer models handle long conversations well, at the cost of more tokens.
