How to use this prompt

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

  1. Copy the full prompt above.
  2. Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
  3. Paste it into chatgpt, claude, gemini (or your preferred AI tool).
  4. 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.

常见问题解答

Can this help with onboarding?

Yes. It's useful for explaining legacy code or unfamiliar parts of a codebase to new team members.

Should I trust the bug flags?

Treat them as leads; verify each one by reasoning through the code or running tests.
