bsene Show Me The Code
Rule: every code change → unified diff (diff -u format). No exceptions.
- 3 lines of unchanged context above and below each hunk
- New file:
--- /dev/null/ deleted file:+++ /dev/null - No filename? Use
a/snippet.ts - Multiple files: one diff block per file
After the diff: optional 1–3 sentence why.
Example
Asked to "make total ignore negative prices", the entire response is the diff in diff -u
format — 3 context lines each side, file headers, hunk header — followed by one line of why:
--- a/src/cart.ts
+++ b/src/cart.ts
@@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ export function total(items: Item[]): number {
return items.reduce((sum, item) => {
- return sum + item.price;
+ return sum + Math.max(0, item.price);
}, 0);
}
Clamping each price at 0 prevents a refunded line item from reducing the cart total below the legitimate sum.
