Optimization Strategies
Be Specific and Clear
- Describe exactly what you want the code to do
- Include expected inputs, outputs, and behavior
Break Down Complex Tasks
- Ask for changes in manageable steps
- Build complexity incrementally
Provide Examples
- Share example inputs and outputs
- Reference existing patterns in your code
Use Discussion Mode
- Use
/ask
to discuss approaches before making changes - Say "go ahead" to implement after discussion
Iteration Techniques
- Refine implementations with follow-up requests
- Use specific feedback when refining code
