# Prompt Tricks

> Reusable prompt snippets ("tricks") that boost KISS Sorcar result quality. In the VS Code extension these appear under the "Tricks" button; they are read from `~/.kiss/INJECTIONS.md`, seeded from the bundled `src/kiss/INJECTIONS.md`. Append one or more to your task prompt.

## Research

```text
Search internet extensively.
```

## Bug Fixing

```text
Reproduce the issue by writing end-to-end tests. Then fix the issue.
```

```text
Reproduce any violation of the invariant by writing end-to-end tests. Then fix the issue.
```

```text
Why did the last task failed? Thoroughly and precisely analyze the logs and the events of the
task. Reproduce the issue by writing an integration test. Then fix the issue.
```

## Multi-Model Quality

```text
Use claude-fable-5 model for all tasks including software development. Use gpt-5.6-sol (not
codex) for thorough review and debugging of the work done by the other model. You MUST
thoroughly check if the other model has missed code or wirings or has introduced bugs. No need
to check if the models exist.
```

```text
Use openrouter/z-ai/glm-5.2 model for all tasks including coding, bug fixing, and test creation.
ALWAYS use gpt-5.6-sol (not codex) to carefully and thoroughly review and debug the work done by
openrouter/z-ai/glm-5.2 for bugs and missing code. Then use claude-fable-5 to do the same thing.
```

## Instructions from a File

```text
Can you use the instructions in the following file to perform the following task?
```

## Reports

```text
Create an html report with diagrams and illustrations in ./reports and open it in the user's
default browser?
```

## Testing at Scale

```text
Can you run all tests and report the cause of failing tests? Do not modify any code. Running all
tests, collecting information, and fixing them is time consuming. So split the set of tests by
the number of test methods into number of cores - 2, and run all splits in parallel using
`run_parallel` tool. Determine which test failures are due to a bug in the project or a bug in
the test. Fix them accordingly.
```

## Git

```text
Can you check the following message on merge conflict and help me fix it?
```

## Review Integrity

```text
Make sure that there is no reward hacking and cheating when reviewing your implementation.
```

## Papers

```text
Build the paper, and take screenshots to check and fix formatting.
```
