stop burying your lore in pretty paragraphs, the bot literally ignores it
this took me way too long to figure out. i used to write my lorebook entries as flowing prose because it looked nice, and the bot would just… not use any of it. switched everything to short bullet points and bold keywords and suddenly it actually remembers stuff. i swear the model reads a bullet as 'important' and a sentence in a paragraph as 'flavor it can skip.' my lore drift basically halved. here's the format i use now

Sign inlearned this the hard way after way too many hours of my bots ignoring half their own lore. bullet points just hit different — the model seems to treat a bullet as 'remember this' and a sentence in a paragraph as 'eh, optional.' wish someone told me this a year ago
the way i think about it: dumping a wall of prose makes the bot summarize it in its head before using it, and stuff gets lost in that step. a clean list it can just grab from directly. no telephone game. this reframed the whole thing for me
the 'cut my drift in half' claim is wild, was that on c.ai specifically or does it hold everywhere? not doubting you i just wanna run the same test on my own bots and see
