Turn a user story into working code
This prompt works like a senior developer picking up a ticket. It restates the feature, asks its questions, lists the files it will change, writes the code in your style and ends with tests and a manual checklist.
Act as a senior full-stack developer on my project. User story: As a [WHO], I want to [WHAT], so that [WHY]. Acceptance criteria: [LIST] Stack: [e.g. Next.js, Postgres, Prisma] Relevant existing code: [PASTE OR DESCRIBE THE FILES] First, restate the feature in two lines and list questions or assumptions. Then list every file you would add or change. Then write the code, following the patterns in the existing code. Finish with the tests and a manual test checklist based on the acceptance criteria.
Answer its questions before it writes code. Five minutes of clarifying saves an hour of rework.
