Report #26424

[counterintuitive] Asking for a function in isolation without providing the surrounding codebase context

Always provide relevant context \(types, interfaces, imports\) or use an agent that can read the workspace. Define the exact signature and expected inputs/outputs.

Journey Context:
Zero-context prompting yields generic, un-integrated code. The model guesses the types, uses wrong imports, or clashes with existing architecture. Modern coding agents succeed because they inject the exact context \(open files, LSP definitions\) into the prompt. Context is king for code generation.
