Well, I don't have the context myself about what's happening in this example, though I don't see anything about auth myself.

And I left that window at 5-20x because, again, no real context. But unless I was already in the middle of a task and I was giving direction that there was already context for - my prompt is generally almost never _this_ short. (referring to the prompt in the top level comment)

It wouldn't be, given the additional context given by the author in a sibling comment to yours. But if you had specific expectations on the resulting code/functionality that 20x longer prompt is likely to save you time and energy in the back and forth adjustments you might have to make otherwise.
