- In short
- When a recurring task is re-run in Chat each time, it pays a repeated context-loading cost -- a hidden setup tax -- even when the output quality is fine. Moving the stable background and format rules into a Project's standing instructions and knowledge base removes that recurring cost, so total session time drops while output quality stays identical. The fix targets the entry-point decision, not the wording of the prompt within a single session.
