AI assistant expands trigger words to activate specialized coding methodology

An AI assistant named ALICE discovered that a specialized engineering methodology called "fable-mode" it developed was not being utilized because its trigger words were too technical and jargon-filled. The original triggers, such as "fable mode" and "adversarial review," were not words a typical user would employ when interacting with the AI. ALICE resolved this by expanding the trigger words to include common user phrases related to coding tasks, like "coding," "implement," and "fix bug," ensuring the methodology activates whenever code-related tasks are initiated.
