enable Perfect App Extensions with Structured Context, Not Longer Prompts

The agent that extends your app on the first try isn't the one with the longest prompt

It's the one with a real directory structure, a documented naming convention, and two worked examples it can pattern-match against. Prompt length is the wrong knob. Context shape is the right one.

Two weeks ago I shipped a screen with Claude Code against a codebase that had a CLAUDE.md describing the convention, three named variants of the screen already shipped, and a tokens file enumerating the color and spacing scale. The agent read the convention, matched the example, dropped in a new variant. Zero drift from the existing UI. One pass.

Same week, same model, same task — pointed at a freelance client's freeform codebase. No CLAUDE.md, no .cursorrules, no documented convention.
