prompt

Coding prompts with clear scope boundaries require explicit in/out sections to prevent scope drift and concrete acceptance criteria. Standardizing task prompts ensures executing agents understand exact deliverables and avoid guessing project scope.

Task prompts for coding agents should include explicit scope boundaries, acceptance criteria, output paths, and non-negotiable verification steps like tests or lint checks. This structured approach guarantees the agent can reliably reach a defined done state.

Verification-centered prompts require concrete checks such as tests, lint, typecheck, and expected outputs before work is considered done. Defining these non-negotiable verification steps within the prompt ensures coding agents validate their own results against acceptance criteria.

Standardizing prompt creation involves applying a strict template with literal-readability, scope sections, and subagent guidance, then saving files under ./prompts/ with correct numbering and naming after user approval to maintain consistent task prompt workflows.

Coding agents drift outside task scope when prompts lack explicit in/out boundaries and acceptance criteria. Adding strict scope boundaries to task prompts prevents agents from wandering into adjacent concerns and missing the required done state.

You can split large feature requests into separate task prompts using a prompt-first workflow. This process creates review, split, or task prompts under ./prompts/ with consistent structure, ensuring each subagent receives clear scope and verification steps.
