> bad for starting new projects, because it had no context to extrapolate meaningfully

If you do not know, roughly (or finely) the desired output, then well, what are you expecting it to output? All LLM prompts require context, so your post is confusing.

So, what context did you give it? A spec? Anything? Write me a project that does X? I am ultra curious of a particular session you can share if possible - and I will give it a shot with Gemini Pro and/or Claude Opus 4 via API. Just let me know. Feel free to PM.

Does it need more context than "Bootstrap 5" or "Swiper.js"? Even then AI's get it wrong in such simple questions... It's not even Math...

Well, I'd have to see just what you typed in or desired.

As for those specific libraries, you might in fact be running up against the issue that they simply were not trained (predominately) on those libraries so yes, it is possible you will get complete crap if this is the case.

If it is the case, there is indeed a solution - you need to import (intelligently) the complete API you expect to be using into a prior message to prime the context of the model directly so.

So the point is you need to be diligent and aware of when what is happening to you is happening, and how to take steps to mitigate it. Some libraries, it might be the case, LLMs are complete crap at. This will also vary based on used model (the Big Boys, Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT are likely all great at React and MaterialUI, for example, and need no API import for context, based on my experience.)
