"We aim to emphasize high-value tokens: where every step in a plan is deliberate, relevant, and positioned where the model can use it. By anchoring the agent on what matters most, we make better use of every token — and focus the model’s attention.".

Bigger context windows don’t stop coding agents from drifting. Cline’s new Focus Chain keeps every step anchored to the goal — so even the longest tasks finish exactly where they’re meant to.

Then, we're you're on the same page, you ask it to go ahead. Then update the tests to avoid regressions. Then update the specs related to that issue for future work. Then the README and the CHANGELOG as appropriate.

Then do: "Take a look at bug #452. Look through the code in file 1, 2 & 3. How would you fix this issue? Ask me any questions you have before you get started.". This is where you switch your agent into "planning mode" so it doesn't start fixing until you're both agreed on how.

Instead, start like you'd start any NCG: "Read these coding standards. That's how we do things already here." . This info goes into and is automatically loaded into each new chat.

Agentic coding mental model: approach every interaction with an agentic coder like talking to a new college grad on their first day. Would you ask an NCG to "fix bug #452 in the next five minutes" and expect something good?.

I've had some early experience with the Dart MCP Server and it's got a ton of potential for attaching AI agents to your running Flutter apps:

I have discovered that I am as picky as any artist with their work. Dartantic 1.0 was functionally complete and passing >1000 tests across 11 chat model providers and 4 embeddings model providers three days ago. But I couldn't ship it because it wasn't *right*.

I've been talking to the Cactus folks about getting their local LLMs for mobile into dartantic. In the meantime, don't let that stop you from bringing them into your mobile Flutter apps:
