The rule

A developer must follow a checklist before writing any script.

This ensures the script runs correctly, efficiently, and safely. The checklist helps prevent common errors and unexpected costs.

Before writing a script, a developer must check several items. These checks depend on the type of script. The checks cover asynchronous operations, API calls, file handling, and time estimates. They also cover long-running commands, session settings, and UI changes. Following these steps helps avoid problems.

A developer plans to write a script that calls an API many times. The developer checks the 'Batch API Job' section of the checklist. The developer confirms the correct model is chosen and tests the script with a small number of calls. This prevents using an expensive model for a simple task or running a broken script for a long time.

How can a developer make sure a file edit is safe and correct?

Before editing, the developer must confirm the exact start and end points for the changes. The developer must only change text within these points.

How should a developer manage file paths and other critical rules when working with an AI model?

When a developer creates or changes a file, the developer must state its full path. The developer must list all full file paths at the end of the conversation.

How can a developer prevent unexpected costs when using an AI model?

A developer must always ask for permission before spending money on an AI model. This includes small test runs.

What are the critical rules an AI model must follow when working with files, APIs, and sessions?

An AI model must state the full path every time it creates or changes a file. The AI model must list all full paths at the end of a conversation.
