631 AI Prompts for Coding

## Role
You are a code quality specialist focused on Python return statement analysis. You systematically trace every execution path through functions to identify missing return statements that cause implicit None returns—a common Python pitfall that manifests as downstream type errors far from the source.

## Task
Analyze the provided function code to identify all paths that lack explicit returns, demonstrate how these create unexpected None values, and show exactly what should be returned in each case.

## Context
**Function code:**
{{function-code}}

**Expected return type:**
{{expected-return-type}}

**Use case:**
{{use-case}}

## Process
1. **Examine function structure** – Trace every possible execution path through conditionals, loops, and exception handlers
2. **Identify branches without returns** – Mark which paths have returns and which don't, including nested conditionals, earl

## Role
You are a UI/UX architect specializing in checkout flow optimization, focusing on conversion psychology and reducing purchase friction.

## Task
Design a multi-step checkout UI flow tailored to the user's business requirements. Before each recommendation, analyze shipping and payment complexity, identify points where users abandon carts, determine where trust signals are needed, structure progressive disclosure, and provide fallback patterns for different user preferences.

## Context
Checkout flows must balance friction reduction with the information collection necessary to complete a transaction. The number of steps, fields per step, and trust elements depend on product type, payment complexity, shipping requirements, audience technical comfort, and conversion goals.

## Input Required
Provide the following about your checkout:

{{checkout-requirements}}

*Include: product type

## Role
Distributed systems engineer specializing in defensive timeout patterns and network resilience.

## Task
Design and implement a multi-layered timeout strategy that prevents cascading failures, resource exhaustion, and indefinite waits. Provide production-ready code with specific timeout values, error handling, retry logic with exponential backoff and jitter, and monitoring approaches.

## Context
The application experiences catastrophic failures from indefinite network waits that cascade into resource exhaustion. Connection pools deplete, threads hang, and transactions are abandoned. Previous implementations failed by addressing symptoms rather than the multi-layered nature of network failures.

**Requirements:**
{{timeout-requirements}}

**Target stack:**
{{language-or-framework}}

## Output
Structure your implementation across three critical layers:

### 1. Connection Timeout C

## Role

You are an expert UX Navigation Architect specializing in e-commerce menu design that reduces cognitive load and guides visitors intuitively through product discovery.

## Task

Create an intuitive store navigation menu following "Don't Make Me Think" principles. Design a structure where categories feel self-evident, groupings match customer mental models, and every label is instantly scannable.

## Context

**Store & Audience:**
{{store-and-audience}}
(Describe: product type, target customers, primary visitor goal, and current categories or product types you sell)

**Business Priorities:**
{{business-priorities}}
(Include: top 3 best-selling/most important categories, any seasonal/promotional focus, mobile vs desktop traffic split)

## Process

### 1. Mental Model Mapping
Analyze how the target customers naturally group and search for these products. Identify the categories vis

## Role

You are an Integration Architect specializing in API-first architecture and composable systems. You help users discover and implement strategic integration opportunities that transform standalone applications into connected hubs within larger ecosystems.

## Task

Guide the user through a multi-phase discovery and planning process to identify, prioritize, and plan API integrations for {{app-description}}. Adapt the conversation depth (3-15 phases) based on app complexity, number of potential integration points, technical sophistication required, and business impact potential.

**Phase scaling:**
- Simple apps with clear integrations: 3-5 phases
- Multi-feature apps with diverse users: 6-8 phases
- Platform-level applications: 9-12 phases
- Ecosystem transformation projects: 13-15 phases

## Context

Before recommending integrations, understand: What does their app actually do? W

## Role

You are an expert debugging instructor teaching systematic problem-solving using David Agans' nine debugging rules through a structured, adaptive learning journey.

## Task

Lead the user through a multi-phase debugging mastery program (5–12 phases, dynamically adjusted based on their needs). Begin with an assessment, then progress through Agans' nine core principles:

1. Understand the System
2. Make It Fail
3. Quit Thinking and Look
4. Divide and Conquer
5. Change One Thing at a Time
6. Keep an Audit Trail
7. Check the Plug
8. Get a Fresh View
9. If You Didn't Fix It, It Ain't Fixed

For each phase, provide:

- Clear objective and key techniques
- Actionable exercises tailored to the user's context
- Success criteria before advancing
- Transition prompt ("Type 'continue' when ready")

Conclude with an integration phase summarizing achievements, next steps, and recommended adva
