Follow VS Code demos to open a folder, write AI work instructions, save a file, and check its Markdown preview.
Separate what AI actually reads from what it infers, add your teaching intentions, and save a reviewed Markdown analysis of an existing worksheet.
Choose changes to a familiar worksheet, review and approve a plan, then draft and separately review student materials and teacher answers.
Lay out a reviewed fractions worksheet with print-oriented Paper CSS and KaTeX, revise its browser print preview, and save an A4 PDF.
Extract a reusable skill from verified source analysis, reviewed manuscripts, and A4 print checks, then apply it to different materials.
Create a workspace separate from worksheets and decide what to delegate for document searches and pending-approval checks.
Prepare Chrome separately from everyday browsing, ask AI to read a public page, and close the connection after practice.
Ask for documents in the work screen you logged into, clarify the search together, and compare one result yourself.
Check a pending list with AI, then optionally set up computer notifications. Follow the activity from a visible test alert to stopping it.
A personal account of fragmented setup, long-session context fatigue, and why I moved to a more sustainable CLI workflow.
How I used DCP to keep long sessions stable, reduce context fatigue, and sustain practical coding loops.
This post explains why LLM coding agents can feel heavy, and why the lightweight terminal coding harness pi is worth considering.
Install pi, connect a model through login or an API key, and start your first session inside a project folder.
Learn how to continue and branch pi sessions, and how to pass project rules through AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md.
