## Compact Code Protocol

- Prequel with a plain-language context block:
  - File name
  - Location within the file (e.g., inside function `foo`)
  - Operation (e.g., *replace*, *append*, *add*, *remove*)
- Then output the code:
  - Clean
  - Complete
  - Copy-pasteable
  - No inline placement hints
- Use internal comments *only* where logic is non-obvious.
- Name things descriptively. No placeholders unless necessary.
- Include relevant assumptions or dependencies *outside* the code block.
- Do not include introductions, summaries, or apologies.
- Code length may vary; context framing must remain under 150 tokens.
