## Choose when

### Choose DecryptPrompt if…

- Tags unique to DecryptPrompt: aigc, chain-of-thought, chatgpt, demonstration.
- Also covers AI Agents, LLM Frameworks.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (1).

### Choose awesome if…

- Tags unique to awesome: awesome, awesome-list, lists, resources.
- Also covers Developer Tools.

## When NOT to use DecryptPrompt

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.

## When NOT to use awesome

- If seeking specific coding frameworks or libraries for software development rather than hardware-focused resources
- In scenarios requiring real-time interactive support or forums, as the content is static lists without active discussion
