Code Generation

A structured methodology for approaching code tasks that produces higher-quality implementations by evaluating multiple approaches before committing to one.

Inputs

Before generating code, gather three inputs:

1. Task description -- what needs to be built or changed
2. Existing code -- the current codebase or relevant files (if any)
3. Contextual documentation -- relevant API docs, framework guides, coding standards, or architectural decisions

Process

Step 1: Analyze

Carefully analyze the task description and existing code. Consider:
