How to use this prompt
Paste the smallest relevant code block. Review, test, and lint any generated code before merging; models can hallucinate APIs.

- Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
- Paste it into chatgpt, claude, gemini (or your preferred AI tool).
- Iterate on the output: add constraints, ask follow-ups, or combine multiple results.
Why this prompt works
It gives the AI a clear role, specific inputs, and an output format. That structure reduces vague responses and gives you a draft you can refine in minutes instead of hours.
