 **Run**:

+- Create a new empty folder with a `main_prompt` file in the `projects` folder (or copy the example folder `cp -r projects/example/ projects/my-new-project`)
 - Fill in the `main_prompt` in your new folder
 - Run `python -m gpt_engineer.main my-new-project`

 ### Limitations
 Implementing additional chain of thought prompting, e.g. [Reflexion](https://github.com/noahshinn024/reflexion), should be able to make it more reliable and not miss requested functionality in the main prompt.
