Prompts I find useful when vide coding

prompts.md

feature implement or bug fix

• Analyze carefully and propose a solution

understand complex systems

• Depict the process/plan: generates flowcharts or architecture diagrams
• Show me the data flow: traces how information moves through the code
• Visualize the state transitions: useful for UI
• Map the dependencies: clarifies what relies on what
• What would be the naive implementation of this: builds intition for why complexity matters

refine output quality

• Before writing the code, outline test cases that needs to pass: improves correctness
• Generate the implementation, then refactor for readability: two-step quality pass
• What's still hard coded that should be configurable: surfaces technical debt early

maintain context across long sessions

• Summarize architecture decisions so far: prevents drift
• List the constraints we've agreed on: keep implicit requirements explicit
