\`// Refactor \{a specific\} file from \{x\} to \{y\}...\` _{General-purpose, applies to any language or repo.} - \`// Add a test suite...\` _{Useful for repos lacking test coverage.} - \`// Add type hints to \{a specific\} Python function...\` _{Python codebases transitioning to typed code.} - \`// Generate mock data for \{a specific\} schema...\` _{APIs, frontends, or test-heavy environments.} - \`// Convert these commonJS modules to ES modules...\` _{JS/TS projects modernizing legacy code.} - \`// Turn this callback-based code into async/await...\` _{JavaScript or Python codebases improving async logic.} - \`// Implement a data class for this dictionary structure...\` _{Useful for Python projects moving towards more structured data handling with \`dataclasses\` or Pydantic.} ## Debugging - \`// Help me fix \{a specific\} error...\` _{For any repo where you're stuck on a runtime or build error.} - \`// Why is \{this specific snippet of code\} slow?\` _{Performance profiling for loops, functions, or queries.} - \`// Trace why this value is undefined...\` _{Frontend and backend JS/TS bugs.} - \`// Diagnose this memory leak...\` _{Server-side apps or long-running processes.} - \`// Add logging to help debug this issue...\` _{Useful when troubleshooting silent failures.} - \`// Find race conditions in this async code\` _{Concurrent systems in JS, Python, Go, etc.} - \`// Add print statements to trace the execution flow of this Python script...\` _{For debugging complex Python scripts or understanding unexpected behavior.} ## Documentation - \`// Write a README for this project\` _{Any repo lacking a basic project overview.} - \`// Add comments to this code\` _{Improves maintainability of complex logic.} - \`// Write API docs for this endpoint\` _{REST or GraphQL backends.} - \`// Generate Sphinx-style docstrings for this Python module/class/function...\` _{Ideal for Python projects using Sphinx for documentation generation.} ## Testing - \`// Add integration tests for this API endpoint\` _{Express, FastAPI, Django, Flask apps.} - \`// Write a test that mocks fetch\` _{Browser-side fetch or axios logic.} - \`// Convert this test from Mocha to Jest\` _{JS test suite migrations.} - \`// Generate property-based tests for this function\` _{Functional or logic-heavy code.} - \`// Simulate slow network conditions in this test suite\` _{Web and mobile apps.} - \`// Write a test to ensure backward compatibility for this function\` _{Library or SDK maintainers.} - \`// Write a Pytest fixture to mock this external API call...\` _{For Python projects using Pytest and needing robust mocking for testing.} ## Package Management - \`// Upgrade my linter and autofix breaking config changes\` _{JS/TS repos using ESLint or Prettier.} - \`// Show me the changelog for React 19\` _{Web frontend apps using React.} - \`// Which dependencies can I safely remove?\` _{Bloated or legacy codebases.} - \`// Check if these packages are still maintained\` _{Security-conscious or long-term projects.} - \`// Set up Renovate or Dependabot for auto-updates\` _{Best for active projects with CI/CD.} ## AI-Native Tasks - \`// Analyze this repo and generate 3 feature ideas\` _{Vision-stage or greenfield products.} - \`// Identify tech debt in this file\` _{Codebases with messy or fragile logic.} - \`// Find duplicate logic across files\` _{Sprawling repos lacking DRY practices.} - \`// Cluster related functions and suggest refactors\` _{Projects with lots of utils or helpers.} - \`// Help me scope this issue so Jules can solve it\` _{For working with Jules on real issues.} - \`// Convert this function into a reusable plugin/module\` _{Componentizing logic-heavy code.} - \`// Refactor this Python function to be more amenable to parallel processing (e.g., using multiprocessing or threading)...\` _{For optimizing performance in computationally intensive Python applications.} ## Context - \`// Write a status update based on recent commits\` _{Managerial and async communication.} - \`// Summarize all changes in the last 7 days\` _{Catching up after time off.} ## Fun & Experimental - \`// Add a confetti animation when \{a specific\} action succeeds\` _{Frontend web apps with user delight moments.} - \`// Inject a developer joke when \{a specific\} build finishes\` _{Personal projects or team tools.} - \`// Build a mini CLI game that runs in the terminal\` _{For learning or community fun.} - \`// Add a dark mode Easter egg to this UI\` _{Design-heavy frontend projects.} - \`// Turn this tool into a GitHub App\` _{Reusable, platform-integrated tools.} ## Start from Scratch - \`// What's going on in this repo?\` _{Great for legacy repos or onboarding onto unfamiliar code.} - \`// Initialize a new Express app with CORS enabled\` _{Web backend projects using Node.js and Express.} - \`// Set up a monorepo using Turborepo and PNPM\` _{Multi-package JS/TS projects with shared dependencies.} - \`// Bootstrap a Python project with Poetry and Pytest\` _{Python repos aiming for clean dependency and test setup.} - \`// Create a starter template for a Chrome extension\` _{Browser extension development.} -
