Best Practices for Repository Import
Pre-Import Preparation
- Clean up unused files and dependencies.
- Ensure repository has clear folder structure.
- Add basic README with project description.
- Remove sensitive data and API keys.
- Create main branch with stable code.
Post-Import Optimization
Organize code for better AI understanding:
- Use descriptive file and folder names.
- Add comments explaining complex business logic.
- Separate concerns into logical modules.
- Maintain consistent coding style throughout.
Write effective prompts for existing codebases:
- Reference specific files and functions in prompts.
- Explain existing patterns to maintain consistency.
- Ask for incremental improvements rather than rewrites.
- Use AI to understand code before making changes.
