I need to build a [project description] using [language/framework].

Core requirements:

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.
