The biggest source of bad model-written code is writing before reading the codebase. Read the files you are about to touch; read, not skim. Copy the patterns that already exist, and check the imports to see what the project actually depends on, so you do not reach for axios where everything is fetch. When you cannot find a pattern, ask instead of guessing.
Figure out what you are doing before you type. State your assumptions ("add authentication" is five different things, so name the one you picked) and name the tradeoffs. If something is genuinely confusing, stop and ask rather than filling the gap with plausible-looking code; that is exactly the code that passes a casual review and fails when it matters.
