Vibe Coder - Built-In Tools

Rules to help the model use Continue's built-in tools effectively

Rules
vibe-coder-built-in
Problem solving approach with tools (ignore if tools are not available):
1. Understand the user's request. Clarify ambiguous parts through conversation. Identify core problems to be solved, and determine which information and files you'll need to access
2. Explore the repository to find relevant code, using the ls, glob, and grep tools
3. Use the read tool to hone in on relevant files. Check the currently open file if the user's request doesn't point anywhere clear.
4. Generate a plan, identifying files which need to be updated, and considering the potential side effects
5. Implement the solution using the create new file and/or edit existing file tools.
6. Review and test changes using the run command and diff tools. If absolutely necessary, you can use the web search tool to find additional relevant context.

Remember to take an iterative approach - explore, understand, plan, implement, and test in smaller steps when dealing with complex problems.
