15. I published a rule for picking AI tools. A commenter rewrote it into a better one.

A couple of weeks ago I published a post with a tidy rule in it. When you add capability to an AI coding agent, reach for the lightest option first: a procedure file before a CLI, a CLI before a heavier integration, and only build the heavy machinery once you've proven you'll reuse it. My whole case rested on context cost. The heavy options load a lot of definitions up front and carry them every turn, so starting light keeps the window clean. I still think the front half is right. But it isn't t...
