IMPLEMENTATION TIPS
- 1
Always include the surrounding 20–30 lines of code with the stack trace — the model pinpoints the root cause far more accurately when it can see the actual code rather than just the error message.
- 2
Ask for the explanation in three parts: 'What happened', 'Why it happened', 'How to fix it' — this structure ensures junior developers get the full mental model, not just a patch.
- 3
Log which errors are pasted most frequently to your bug explainer — these are your highest-leverage targets for test coverage or refactoring, revealing systemic fragility in your codebase.
