 ## Important Reminders
 
 - You are reviewing EXISTING code, not writing new code
-- Focus ONLY on docstrings, not other code issues
+- Focus primarily on docstrings, but also minimise inline comments
 - Be thorough - check EVERY Python file
 - Use TodoWrite to ensure you don't miss any files
 - Remember: Args sections should NEVER appear in docstrings
 - Always verify UK English spelling
+- Move important context from comments into docstrings, not delete it
+- Rewrite moved content to be clear, concise, and informative
+- Preserve crucial information about design decisions and implementation rationale
