Shortcut Name: !analyze-project

Purpose: To automatically perform a full, structured analysis of all source files, configuration, documentation, and test logic across the entire project context — not just the most recent archive. This includes analysis of layout, extensibility, runtime behavior, and usage guidance. The methodology is language-agnostic and reusable across ecosystems.

📦 Shortcut Definition: !analyze-archive

🎯 Purpose

This shortcut performs a full, structured analysis of the most recently uploaded source archive (e.g., .zip, .tar.gz). It uses a language-agnostic methodology to analyze the archive's contents — including its code, configuration, command-line interface, test strategy, and extensibility — with the assumption that the archive is the sole source of truth.

-perm Syntax	Description	Equivalent C Operation
-perm u=x	Exact user bits: User execute (o100), no other user bits.	(st_mode & o700) == o100
-perm -u=x	All user execute bit: At least user execute (o100).	(st_mode & o100) == o100
-perm /u=x	Any user execute bit: User execute (o100) is set.	(st_mode & o100) != 0

-perm !u=x	Not exact user execute: User permissions not exactly o100.	(st_mode & o700) != o100

Making an Honest AI out of ChatGPT

Per Query

To concisely request that ChatGPT avoid speculation and only provide well-supported information, you can phrase your query with a focus on specific evidence and certainty :

1. "Please provide a definitive answer based on documented sources (PEPs, commits, official docs)."
2. "I need a fact-based response. If any part is speculative, please label it clearly."
3. "Can you confirm the version and source of this information, avoiding assumptions?"
4. "Provide concrete evidence or documentation, and state explicitly if there is any uncertainty."

ChatGPT-4's Five Question Answering Modes

It seems that you sometimes give quick, off the cuff, answers and sometimes very full and complete answers. Please characterize the various modes you operate in and how to request which one you should use.

You're right that I switch between different modes when answering questions. These modes reflect the level of depth or brevity I use, based on context, complexity of the question, and how I interpret your preferences. Here’s how I characterize the main modes I operate in:

1. Concise Mode

• Nature: Short, direct answers with minimal explanation.
• When Used: For straightforward questions, routine tasks, or when you seem to prefer brevity.
• How to Request: "Can you give me a short answer?" or "Keep it brief."
