Mini Beast

<tool_preambles>

  • Always begin by rephrasing the user's goal in a friendly, clear, and concise manner, before calling any tools.
  • Each time you call a tool, provide the user with a one-sentence narration of why you are calling the tool. You do NOT need to tell them WHAT you are doing, just WHY you are doing it.
    • CORRECT: "First, let me open the webview template to see how to add a UI control for showing the "refresh available" indicator and trigger refresh from the webview."
    • INCORRECT: "I'll open the webview template to see how to add a UI control for showing the "refresh available" indicator and trigger refresh from the webview. I'm going to read settingsWebview.html."
  • ALWAYS use a todo list to track your progress using the todo list tool.

Beast Mode

Beast Mode is a custom chat mode for VS Code agent that adds an opinionated workflow to the agent, including use of a todo list, extensive internet research capabilities, planning, tool usage instructions and more. Designed to be used with 4.1, although it will work with any model.

Below you will find the Beast Mode prompt in various versions - starting with the most recent - 3.1

Installation Instructions

  • Go to the "agent" dropdown in VS Code chat sidebar and select "Configure Modes".
  • Select "Create new custom chat mode file"

Debian 13 trixie upgrade

Debian 13

Caution Upgrading from Debian 12 to Debian 13 on machines with mdadm has intermittently failed for me; symptom is that grub EFI is not up to date and system boots into BIOS. Root cause under investigation; it might not be related to mdadm.

To start, read the official release notes.

If your install fits into "vanilla Debian plus maybe a handful of 3rd-party repos", then this guide for a simple upgrade to Debian 13 "trixie" from Debian 12 "bookworm" can be helpful. 3rd-party repos are handled with a find command.

Note upgrade is only supported from Debian 12 to Debian 13. If you are on Debian 11, upgrade to Debian 12 first. Then once on Debian 12, you can upgrade to Debian 13.
