How should I structure complex coding prompts?

Break complex coding tasks into three parts: context (what exists), goal (what you want), and constraints (requirements and limitations). This structure prevents the AI from making assumptions and produces more accurate code.

How can I get better code suggestions in Copilot?

Write a detailed comment describing the function before you start typing code. Copilot reads comments as context, so a clear description of inputs, outputs, and edge cases produces dramatically better suggestions.

What is context stuffing and when should I use it?

Paste relevant documentation, examples, or reference material directly into your prompt before asking questions. AI models work best with explicit context rather than relying on training data that may be outdated or incomplete.

How do I use Cursor for full-codebase refactoring?

Use Cursor's @codebase mention to give the AI context of your entire project. Then ask for specific refactoring: "Rename all instances of UserService to AuthService and update all imports." Cursor will propose changes across multiple files.
