Dev shares his 'coach' prompt telling agents to focus only on building the future
gajesh · x · 2026-10-05
Developer gajesh shared a new prompt he gives his agent:
> "Don't think about what already exists and doesn't. What doesn't exist can be built and what exists can be changed. We should be thinking about making the future up only."
He frames his role as the agent's coach — steering it away from analyzing what's out there and toward a creator mindset of building directly.
