Why this prompt works

Vague coding prompts produce code that doesn't fit your stack. This prompt supplies language, framework, inputs, and outputs up front, so the AI writes idiomatic code that actually runs in your environment — and surfaces its assumptions so you can catch mismatches early.

How to customize it

Always state the language version and framework to avoid incompatible code.
Describe inputs and expected outputs precisely.
Ask for tests if the logic is important.

Tip: replace the parts in [square brackets] with your own details before you send. The more specific you are — audience, tone, goal, constraints — the better the AI output.
