The AI Memory Problem
AI does not think like a human. It has a tiny, short-term memory box. If your conversation gets too long, the AI pushes your early instructions out of the box to make room for new ones. This is called Contextual Drift.
Here is what happens if you don't remind the AI what it's doing:
Hey AI, build me a login screen. It MUST connect to my secure database.
Sure! Here is a great login screen with the secure database connection included. 🖥️
(20 minutes and 15 prompts later...)
Okay, the login screen looks great. Just change the 'Submit' button to be dark mode compatible.
Done! I updated the button colors.
(Oops! The AI forgot about the database rule because it was pushed out of memory. It just deleted your database code to make the button look pretty.)
Wait, my app just crashed! The database connection is gone!
The Oryx-AI Method: How to Fix This
Rule 1: The 4-to-5 Sentence Recap
Every 4 or 5 times you talk to the AI, stop and remind it of the big picture. Say: "Remember, we are building a login screen and it MUST keep the database connection intact."
Rule 2: The `export.txt` Map
If you are writing real code, run a script to copy all your code into one single file called export.txt. Paste that into the AI chat so it has a 100% accurate map of what your project looks like.
