Coding Playground Notes: Debugging & Long-Context Reading

Independent workflow notes

These notes are informal observations from the Spacebunny playground — not vendor claims. Re-run your own evals before production decisions. The current default engine is DeepSeek V4 Flash via OpenRouter.

Coding tasks

On medium TypeScript refactors and React debugging, results improve when prompts specify output format. Temperature around 0.2–0.5 helps precise edits; raise it for brainstorming architecture options.

Long context reading

With large pasted corpora, ask for citations back to section headers or function names. That validates whether the model is using the provided context rather than improvising. Track credit burn: long prompts dominate cost even when answers are short.

Multimodal

Screenshot-to-code quality depends on image clarity. Prefer crisp UI captures under 4MB. Combine the image with a short constraint list (stack, spacing, accessibility) for better playground results.
