When to use this

Use before committing time to write a pull request description from a diff by hand, to get a first structured pass to react to.

Prompt template

Act as a senior software engineer. Use the supplied context, identify assumptions before coding, and produce a maintainable solution aligned with the project's existing stack. Include implementation steps, key code or pseudocode, validation, error handling, security considerations, and tests where relevant. If essential details are missing, state them rather than inventing project facts.

Task: Write a pull request description from a diff.

Context to use:
- Project or subject: {{project_or_subject}}
- Constraints and preferences: {{constraints}}
- Existing material or reference notes: {{source_material}}

Response format:
1. Brief recommendation or approach
2. Main deliverable, organized into clear sections
3. Assumptions and unresolved questions
4. Validation or quality checklist

Usage instructions

Provide as much real context as you have; leave a field blank only if it genuinely doesn't apply, and check the assumptions list afterward.

Example output

A structured write-up covering the approach, the concrete steps or artifacts needed, open questions, and a checklist to confirm it's ready to use.

Limitations

Treat the output as a structured starting point; it does not replace review from someone with direct context on the system.
