Share Code Effectively with Context and Examples

Code by itself can be opaque. A few lines of context transform a snippet into something others can reuse.

Document Inputs

List required inputs or environment variables up front.

Show a Call

Provide a minimal example of how to call the function or script.

Clarify Output

Describe what success looks like and mention edge cases.

If there’s a canonical document or repo, include the link for deeper reference.
