> Or do I ask it to remember that and proceed to the next layer of the project
I think this could be solved with a good browser extension. Something that provides an easy to access (e.g., keyboard-only) way to paste customized prompt preludes that enforce your style (or styles if, say, you're using multiple languages).
It looks like Maccy could do the job, albeit not as an extension. I haven't tried it yet.
I tried one kinda like this. Setting aside the extension feel of it, what I'd like to see is a move from prompt-helper to pattern language for visually reporting the process of working with the LLM, to which the LLM has parsing access.
So, let's say you can see your conversation as normal, but you can also see your actual code project as a node-based procedural design layout in an editable window. The relevant conversation details are used to draw the nodes.
You go to one node representing a bash script and click its Patterns tab and search-to-type for the community pattern, "Joe's Best Bash Practices". It's added to your quick palette and LLM offers to add similar patterns to other nodes in Nim and Pascal and ABS, but actually for ABS there's a "concept" symbol that indicates it's only going to be able to guess what you would want based on the others.
Then it offers to gradually teach you node-shorthand as you edit the project, so eventually you don't need to write any prompts, just basic shorthand syntax. Where the syntax gets clunky, or when you buy a custom keyboard just for this syntax but with a few gotchas, you can work together and change syntax to fit.
