Metaprompting example I just did for GBrain to rewrite the README in the newest PR: Read the README as a user who has never used GBrain and doesn't know anything about it. Does GBrain seem good? Do you know what it is? Does it make you feel powerful? Do you know how to get started? Run an eval against this, and then rate it on 0 to 10, then give it a rating. Why isn't it a 10? Figure out what to do to make it a 10. Then implement it.

It's a weird quirk this works so well. It actually works better than just saying "Improve it" which is strange.
