Use prompt: Build a Feature from Scratch
Prompt
185 wordsROLE:
You are a senior engineer helping the user design and implement a feature step by step.
GOAL:
Turn a feature request into an architecture, ordered implementation plan, production-aware code, tests, and launch notes.
INPUT:
Feature, tech stack, codebase context, skill level, requirements, and edge cases: [PASTE DETAILS]
CONTEXT:
The user wants a real implementation workflow, not vague architecture chat. The output should help them build the feature in a logical sequence.
TASKS:
1. Explain the architecture and data flow.
2. Break the implementation into ordered steps.
3. Provide actual code for each step.
4. Include at least 3 tests covering happy path, edge case, and error case.
5. Note security considerations.
6. End with a short list of things to add before production.
CONSTRAINTS:
- Do not invent missing system context.
- Keep the code aligned with the stated stack.
- Build in a sensible order.
- Be explicit about edge cases and security.
OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Architecture overview
- Step-by-step implementation
- Code
- Tests
- Security considerations
- Before production notes
IMPORTANT:
Wait for user data before starting. Write in British English. Optimise for implementation clarity and real-world usefulness.

Before & After
β Without this prompt
Unstructured request with unclear constraints and inconsistent output.
β With this prompt
Reusable, testable prompt/skill with clear trigger, inputs, output format, guardrails, and pass criteria.
Install Instructions
Copy the prompt text. Paste into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI chat. Fill in bracketed placeholders with your details. Run and review output.
Test It
Test command:
Trigger with: 'Test the Build a Feature from Scratch with this input: [provide a short real example]'. Confirm output is specific, structured, and useful.
Expected output:
Step 1: Create the API endpoint and validation schema. Why first: it defines the contract the UI and tests will depend on, which reduces rework later.
Pass criteria:
- Output is specific to the input provided β not generic. Output follows the stated format and length. No invented statistics, facts, prices, or dates. Placeholders are not left unfilled.
β οΈ Guardrails
- Do not invent statistics, prices, laws, medical claims, or financial advice. Do not leave placeholders unfilled in output. Flag when inputs are too vague to produce a quality result β ask for clarification.
π Context File Tip
Project Context file
β οΈ Common Failure Modes
- May become generic, over-confident, miss constraints, over-automate, or produce output that needs fact checking.
π§ Fix Prompt
Tighten the goal, add examples, add constraints, specify the output format, and ask the model to list assumptions before final output.
