Different frameworks handle environment variables differently. Saying 'Vite project' or 'Next.js app' tells Claude exactly which syntax to use.
Other principles in Context
Declare the Tools You Need
Name the tool or MCP server by name, and say what to do if it isn't reachable.
Describe Before You Prescribe
Describe the Data Shape
Claude can't clean data it can't picture.
Explain the Integration Point
Keep Memory Reusable
Save patterns and preferences that survive across sessions; never save snapshots of finished work.
Map to Real Components
Use Code Connect so it reuses your components, not new markup.
