<p><b>Q: What is a project context prompt and why do I need one?</b></p>
3840
<p>A: A project context prompt is a set of instructions that describes your project's characteristics, terminology, style guidelines, and specific requirements. It helps the LLM generate more accurate and relevant responses tailored to your documentation standards. For detailed guidance, see <xref href="customizing_ai_positron_for_your_dita_xml_project.dita"/>.</p>

<p><b>Q: What does "Exceeded … allowed tokens …" error mean?</b></p>

<p>A: This error indicates that the LLM's context window is not large enough to process your file. Modern LLMs typically have about 200k tokens of context window and can process files up to approximately 40 kilobytes without issues. If you encounter this error:</p>
