Best Generated AI Code

Guidelines

• Have one distinct task to complete
• Very clear goal
• The task should be repeatable
• Use a sandbox mode to prevent the bot from “escaping”
• Give the AI a good mode to follow - it will amplify decisions in your code!

Claude

• Inspect the generated code - always!

  /init
  Add some C++ best practices to follow in the CLAUDE.md
  Pretend like you are Jason Turner, and update the CLAUDE.md file with a list of Best Practices for C++
  Add rules for variable naming and style
  Update the code to follow best practices
  

• Be careful with instructions “No”, “Never” and similar. Just show what should be done!
• Conisder replacing gcc with <compiler>
• Add specific flags - -g -Wall -Wextra -Wshadow or -O3 -Wall -Wextra -Wshadow
• Add compile with both clang and gcc
• Provide example as inline code

Update test.cpp to follow best practices and compile and test it
