I've had a lot of struggles working in a large codebase getting AI to follow the existing patterns and architecture. So I started building a VS Code / Cursor extension that lets you quickly snap together sub prompts/instructions relevant to a specific task. After seeing the value of this, I realized you could make those sub prompts more customizable by using a liquid syntax engine.That worked fine for a few days, until the original context blocks got stale as the project progressed.
