Practical, developer-first guides on working with AI coding assistants — starting with the question everyone runs into first: how do you actually get an AI tool to understand your project, without burning your context window on noise it never needed?

Some of these are tool-specific — Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT — and walk through how each one actually finds context and where that falls short. Others are more general: what belongs in a context file, what should never leave your machine, and how to scope a large codebase down to something an AI can actually reason about. No filler, and nothing you couldn't verify by reading the tool's own docs — just the parts that took us longer to figure out than they should have.
