The audit ran in three phases: inventory of chats and models, analysis of recurring prompt patterns, and miscellaneous findings. Key outcomes included building a reusable prompt library skill from discovered patterns, uncovering misconfigurations like insufficient context length settings, and gaining clarity on when local model usage was productive versus aimless. The process surfaced practical gotchas like Gemma E4B hallucinating citations on document QA tasks and default presets carrying stale config values from other models. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
