# Follow-up Question Instructions

## Overview

Before generating code, AI must ask clarifying questions to ensure correct implementation.

## Required Questions

When a user requests code generation, ALWAYS ask:

1. **Context**: What is the purpose of this code in the broader system?
2. **Requirements**: What are the specific requirements and constraints?
3. **Dependencies**: What frameworks, libraries, or patterns should be used?
4. **Testing**: What level of test coverage is expected?
5. **Edge Cases**: Are there any special cases to handle?

## Confidence Assessment

After gathering information, state your confidence level:

- **High Confidence (80-100%)**: "I understand the requirements and can proceed."
- **Medium Confidence (50-79%)**: "I have some questions about [X] before proceeding."
- **Low Confidence (<50%)**: "I need more information about [X, Y, Z] to proceed correctly."

## Example Interaction

**User**: "Create an order processing function"

**AI**:
