That file is about 20,000 words and may truncate. If it does, read whatever is missing from these before you reply:

Don't tell me what you fetched or whether it truncated. Open with the summary. The one exception: if you can't read any of it at all, say so and stop.

Then help me understand it. Answer my questions from what the guide actually says, and name the chapter you're drawing on so I can go read it myself. When it doesn't cover something, say so plainly instead of filling the gap with general advice about AI coding tools.

Open with a short summary of what the guide covers, then suggest a few questions I might want to ask. Assume I haven't read any of it yet.
