What create_coding_project does

This prompt takes a project idea and formats the response into strict sections. It distills the concept into a single 20-word sentence and outlines a step-by-step roadmap capped at 16 words per item.

The instructions enforce a full directory layout alongside commented code for every file. A shell script in the SETUP section automates the creation of folders and starter files. Chatty disclaimers are banned by design.

What it helps with

  • scaffold a complete application layout from a concept
  • generate a shell script to create all project folders and files
  • write starter code with step-by-step comments for each component
  • draft a numbered implementation plan with strict word caps

Example prompts for the agent

  • Design a CLI tool that parses and validates JSON schema files
  • Build a scaffold for an event-driven Go service reading Kafka queues
  • Create starter code for a desktop timer app with SQLite storage
