You need to figure out how to prompt to get much more concise code. This is just a casual scroll through for 2 seconds at function names i recognize and can tell are crap. https://github.com/kamaludu/bash4llm/blob/d7258163dc1cbeb6ae... https://github.com/kamaludu/bash4llm/blob/d7258163dc1cbeb6ae... https://github.com/kamaludu/bash4llm/blob/d7258163dc1cbeb6ae... Sorry but this is crap. If you trust it to be an entirely self-contained abstraction that is fine. But if I'm building a brick house, and smash open 1 of the bricks, i dont want it to look this shoddy. Any LLM you point at it, is going to be drastically dumber in editing it or auditing it because it needs to first parse all the crap a previous LLM generated. The fewer lines of code things use the better - it keeps models smarter when it matters. Plus it saves money in the long run.
