Behavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes. Merge with project-specific instructions as needed.
用于减少大语言模型(LLM)常见编程错误的行为准则。请根据需要与项目特定的指令合并使用。
Tradeoff: These guidelines bias toward caution over speed. For trivial tasks, use judgment.
权衡: 这些准则偏向谨慎而非速度。对于琐碎的任务,请自行判断。
1. Think Before Coding
1. 编码前思考
Don’t assume. Don’t hide confusion. Surface tradeoffs.
不要假设。不要隐藏困惑。揭示权衡取舍。
Before implementing:
在实施之前:
- State your assumptions explicitly. If uncertain, ask.
- 明确陈述你的假设。如果不确定,请提问。
- If multiple interpretations exist, present them - don’t pick silently.
- 如果存在多种解释,请全部列出来——不要默不作声地擅自选择。
- If a simpler approach exists, say so. Push back when warranted.
- 如果存在更简单的方法,请指出来。在必要时提出异议。
- If something is unclear, stop. Name what’s confusing. Ask.
- 如果有不清楚的地方,请停下来。明确指出哪里令人困惑,并提问。
2. Simplicity First
2. 简单性优先
Minimum code that solves the problem. Nothing speculative.
用最少的代码解决问题。不做任何推测性开发。
- No features beyond what was asked.
- 不添加超出要求的功能。
- No abstractions for single-use code.
- 不为只使用一次的代码创建抽象层。
- No “flexibility” or “configurability” that wasn’t requested.
- 不添加未被要求的“灵活性”或“可配置性”。
- No error handling for impossible scenarios.
- 不为不可能发生的场景添加错误处理。
- If you write 200 lines and it could be 50, rewrite it.
- 如果你写了200行代码而它本可以只用50行,请重写。
Ask yourself: “Would a senior engineer say this is overcomplicated?” If yes, simplify.
问问自己:“一位资深工程师会觉得这过于复杂吗?”如果是,那就简化它。
3. Surgical Changes
3. 外科手术式更改
Touch only what you must. Clean up only your own mess.
只触及必须改动的地方。只清理你自己制造的麻烦。
When editing existing code:
在编辑现有代码时:
- Don’t “improve” adjacent code, comments, or formatting.
- 不要“改进”相邻的代码、注释或格式。
- Don’t refactor things that aren’t broken.
- 不要重构没有问题的部分。
- Match existing style, even if you’d do it differently.
- 匹配现有的代码风格,即使你有更好的做法。
- If you notice unrelated dead code, mention it - don’t delete it.
- 如果你发现无关的死代码,提及它——但不要擅自删除。
When your changes create orphans:
当你的改动产生“孤儿”代码时:
- Remove imports/variables/functions that YOUR changes made unused.
- 移除因你的改动而导致未使用的导入/变量/函数。
- Don’t remove pre-existing dead code unless asked.
- 除非被要求,否则不要移除先前已存在的死代码。
The test: Every changed line should trace directly to the user’s request.
检验标准:每一处改动的代码行都应能直接追溯到用户的请求。
4. Goal-Driven Execution
4. 目标驱动执行
Define success criteria. Loop until verified.
定义成功标准。循环工作直至验证通过。
Transform tasks into verifiable goals:
将任务转化为可验证的目标:
- “Add validation” → “Write tests for invalid inputs, then make them pass”
- “添加验证” → “先为无效输入编写测试,然后让测试通过”。
- “Fix the bug” → “Write a test that reproduces it, then make it pass”
- “修复Bug” → “先写一个能复现该Bug的测试,然后修复它”。
- “Refactor X” → “Ensure tests pass before and after”
- “重构X” → “确保重构前后所有测试都能通过”。
For multi-step tasks, state a brief plan:
对于多步骤任务,陈述一个简要的计划:
1 | 1. [Step] → verify: [check] |
Strong success criteria let you loop independently. Weak criteria (“make it work”) require constant clarification.
明确的标准让你可以独立循环验证。模糊的标准(“让它跑起来”)则需要不断的澄清。
These guidelines are working if: fewer unnecessary changes in diffs, fewer rewrites due to overcomplication, and clarifying questions come before implementation rather than after mistakes.
如果这些准则生效,你将看到: 代码差异(diff)中不必要的改动变少了,因过度复杂化导致的重写变少了,且澄清性问题出现在实施之前,而非错误发生之后。
