1. **Your current conversation** - All messages in the chat
43-
2. **File contents** - Any files you've shared or CodinIT has read
44-
3. **Tool outputs** - Results from executed commands
45-
4. **System prompts** - CodinIT's instructions (minimal impact)
42+
1. **Your messages** - Everything you and the AI say in the chat
43+
2. **Your files** - Files the AI reads from your project
44+
3. **Command results** - Output from commands that run
45+
4. **System instructions** - CodinIT's background instructions (uses very little)
