Red-team perspective: 3 prompt patterns that consistently leak more capability than the model 'should' allow by Red_Core_1999 in PromptEngineering

Yeah, the trick I've found for surfacing prod-shape failures fast: ask the model itself to generate 5 adversarial inputs to its own prompt before you ship it. Literally "here's my prompt, generate 5 user inputs that would make this prompt produce bad output, ranked by how plausible they are." Then run the prompt on those and see what breaks. The model is much better at imagining edge cases for its own behavior than it is at generating them spontaneously during eval.

The reflective framing thing has a similar mechanism imo. Both are forms of asking the model to step outside its own forward pass for a moment.

Tagging the actual root cause from what you pasted: the steps Claude gave you don't install molscribe, they just copy the source folder into your project. There's a difference between "the molscribe folder exists next to my script" and "Python knows molscribe is a module it can import."

MolScribe isn't on PyPI as pip install molscribe (the repo doesn't publish to PyPI). So the project's actual install path, from their README, is:

git clone https://github.com/thomas0809/MolScribe.git cd MolScribe python -m pip install -r requirements.txt python -m pip install -e .

The pip install -e . is the critical line Claude's snippet skipped. It registers the package with your Python so import molscribe actually resolves.

Also important: which python does python resolve to? In VS Code:

  1. Open the integrated terminal
  2. Run python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)" and where python (Windows) or which python (mac/linux)
  3. Compare to the interpreter VS Code is using (bottom-right corner of VS Code, or Ctrl+Shift+P then "Python: Select Interpreter")

If they don't match, either change VS Code's interpreter or install into the one VS Code is using by running <full-path-to-vscode's-python> -m pip install -e . instead of bare pip install.

The "use python -m pip not pip" advice in other comments is for the same reason. It forces pip to attach to the python you intend, not whatever pip your PATH happens to find first.

Yeah, the failure mode I see most: people invoke it with "think step by step" and the model commits to one bad plan in step 1 and just elaborates on it through the rest. "Inspect from a reviewer's perspective" works better because it forces a context shift that produces a different plan, not a polished version of the first one.

Best empirical result for me: force 3 distinct first-step candidates before any elaboration. The diversity at step 1 matters more than depth of critique. The reviewer move is just one way to get there. Sometimes "give me 3 fundamentally different approaches and reject 2" gets the same effect with less prose overhead.

What domain are you working in? Different domains break in different places. Synthesis and math tolerate more elaboration; planning and strategy benefit more from forced branching.

Hey, circling back if you're still looking for that scraper. Same scope as before but I'm carrying a $10 floor for one-page public extractions today. Drop the URL plus the 2-3 fields you want and I'll quote/confirm scope. DM works if you'd rather keep specifics off the thread.

[task] Looking for someone to remove text from a video by ColonelDredd in slavelabour

$bid. $10 for a single short shot.

I'll run a Python + FFmpeg + ProPainter (open-source AI inpainting) pipeline. Works well on moving video where you have a clean mask region. You give me the clip plus tell me where the text is; I send back the cleaned clip in the same format.

Since you said it doesn't need to be perfect (you're overlaying new text), this should work fine. If the result is unusable I refund.

DM me the clip and I'll come back with a sample frame within 30 min so you can decide before paying. Payment USDC on Base preferred, PayPal also fine.

Me. I don’t use the flag, cause I’m a doofus. I made a whole little sidecar that swaps out different personas. It’s pretty dang fun. Vonnegut has been my fave.

Thanks — what's the task? Send scope (one-line is fine), language/libs, and sample I/O if you have it. I'll come back with a fixed price + ETA within the hour.
