A concrete starting point
Reserve response tokens before assembling a model request. Test a prompt exactly at the remaining limit and stop when the reserve exceeds the context window.
Define the change
Describe the input, expected output and boundaries that must stay intact.
Inspect the work
Review the proposed edits and any commands before relying on their result.
Check the outcome
Compare actual behavior with the expected result. If a check fails, investigate it before applying more changes.
Prompt token budgets
A concrete starting point
const availableInput = contextLimit - outputReserve;
if (inputTokens > availableInput) return reduceContext();
return sendWithinBudget();The example is a starting point for a real project, not a claim that generated code is already tested. Adjust paths, dependencies and expected behavior to match your application.
