When working with AI coding assistants, you often get incomplete answers because the AI doesn't have visibility into your full codebase. This prompt forces Claude to explicitly list what files it needs before attempting to answer your coding question. It breaks down requirements into must-see versus nice-to-have files, explains the reasoning, and identifies knowledge gaps. Instead of getting a generic response based on assumptions, you'll know exactly what context to provide for an accurate, project-specific answer. Saves time by frontloading the context gathering instead of going back and forth with clarifying questions.
