Context-Aware Code Completion

Providing the surrounding code and project context lets the model match existing patterns exactly. The constraint against modifying existing code prevents unwanted side effects.

Code Explanation

The audience level parameter adjusts complexity automatically. Requiring a usage example ensures the explanation is practical, not just theoretical.

Code Refactoring

Explicitly stating that external behavior must be preserved prevents breaking changes. Requiring a change log with rationale makes the refactoring reviewable and educational.
