Question

You ask an AI to integrate a Rust crate you named, and twice it returns code calling methods that don't exist on that crate's types — it keeps 'fixing' by inventing differently-named methods that also don't exist. You're three prompts deep. Diagnose what's happening and decide your next move instead of prompting a fourth time.

What a strong answer looks like

Treat the AI’s output as a draft to verify, not an answer to trust. Name the specific flaw and the input that triggers it, say how you’d catch it — tests, edge cases, reading critically — and how you’d re-prompt or decompose to get it right.

Describe your solution

Vibe coding: describe the solution in plain language (or narrate it) and the coach grades your approach. Generating runnable code from your description is coming next.

Run or narrate your approach, then ask the coach.
