I've realised that the Haskell 'slogan' "avoid success at all costs" is ambiguous.
It can be parsed as "avoid success, at all costs" or "avoid success-at-all-costs". I'm not always sure which meaning is intended.

* It tells the LLM the conventions of the project, avoiding follow-up prompts.
* It precomputes a summary of the project, saving a bunch of searches at the start of a session.

I've been experimenting with different pagination UIs.
It's so common to have arrows, but I've realised they're redundant here. When you have the adjacent values as well as the final value, you don't need > and >> arrows too.
Thoughts?
