How to Write Good AI Prompts

Initial Prompt

The initial prompt is crucial - it sets the foundation for your interaction with AI. A good initial prompt should:

  • Focus on one feature or task at a time rather than bundling multiple requests together
  • Use precise language to avoid ambiguity
  • Break down complex requests into smaller, manageable parts

Examples of Poor vs. Good Prompts

1. When referring to a specific page, use the /page-name in your prompt to help Codev understand which page you want to modify.

😔 Fix the button on the settings page

🔥 On the /settings page, I need help fixing the Save button - it's currently not responding when clicked. The button should save the user's profile changes to the database.

2. Do one feature at a time

😔 I would like to implement a feature that allows me to download the transcript of the conversation. When a user sends a message, it should automatically use AI to summarize it. When user accepts the agreement, it should display a modal to confirm.

🔥 Allow the user to download the transcript of the conversation, when they click the download button on the transcript page.
