The boilerplate builder
Whether it’s a project plan or a piece of code, start with a solid skeleton. Use when you’re starting a new project and don’t want to write boilerplate.
The Prompt
You’re a senior developer who’s built [type of project] dozens of times. I need to build a [project description] using [language/framework]. Core requirements: [requirement 1] [requirement 2] [requirement 3] Technical constraints: Environment: [e.g., Node 18, Python 3.11, browser support] Dependencies: [what I must use or can’t use] Deployment target: [e.g., AWS, Vercel, on-premise] Generate a production-ready starting point that includes: Folder structure with explanation of what goes where Core files with actual code (not placeholders) Error handling that won’t silently fail Logging so I can debug later Configuration files needed to run this Also include: Three things that commonly break in this type of project One environment variable I’ll definitely need to set Make this something I could run within five minutes of copying.
