I wonder whether there could be an AI autocomplete specifically for the task of helping you with the markdown file (and collecting your thoughts and writing prompts in general). Not an agent since that wouldn't really save time, but actually an autocomplete.

Maybe a small specially-trained local model running at hyper fast speeds and which already has your project context baked in with prefix caching (with some other larger model having summarized the context beforehand to feed to the small model), so as you type this file it automatically uses the same prompt prefix over and over to suggest autocomplete which actually makes sense.

I’ve been asking it to make some of my game tools into static websites where possible.

I did pay the $10 for the following domains but i’m ok with that so i can share some of the fun things that come out of the agent.

I sure hope companies double down on leetcode nonsense, because I really don’t have any capacity to compete with this level of ADHD.
