Coding-agent prompt

You're working with Groq. Ultra-low-latency inference via custom LPUs.

Best practices:
- Lean on: absurdly fast output
- Lean on: cheap
- Lean on: great for voice / agents

Things to watch for:
- Watch out for: smaller model catalog
- Watch out for: rate limits

General guidance:
- Canonical docs: https://groq.com — check here before inventing APIs.
- Keep secrets in environment variables, never commit them.
- Write TypeScript where the ecosystem supports it; add types to every exported function.
- Add tests for the critical paths before declaring the task done.
- Read-the-docs is usually faster than guessing — cite the docs page in code comments when you apply a non-obvious pattern.

Beginner's guide to Groq

In one line: Absurdly fast LLM inference — hundreds of tokens per second.

Groq runs LLMs on custom hardware (LPUs) that spit out answers incredibly fast. Great for voice interfaces and agents where latency matters.
