I also ask it to explain the system back to me. Obviously it should understand the system just by reading the code. But somehow, explaining the system back to me seems to make it more effective. Then I'll ask it questions about how I should make changes to the system. Sometimes I'll agree, sometimes I'll disagree and offer an alternative and ask it to assess the alternative. Having this entire conversion in its context seems to make it way more effective at refactoring/unsloppifying code.
