How to Use This Template

Best for

Teams that need faster development output with more stable prompt quality.

Problem it solves

Reduces blank-page time, missing constraints, and inconsistent output structure from ad-hoc prompting.

Steps

Copy the template prompt.
Paste it into your AI tool (Coze / Dify / ChatGPT).
Replace placeholder variables using the dictionary above.
Run and refine constraints based on output quality.

Not ideal when

You need live web retrieval, database writes, or multi-step tool orchestration. Use full workflow automation for that.

Success Case

Input:

repo_path: /home/user/project, branch_name: feature/new-api, copilot_mode: non-interactive, prompt: "Add unit tests for the new API endpoint."

Output:

Generated test files added to the project and successfully pushed to the remote repository.

Boundary Case

Input:

repo_path: /home/user/project, branch_name: feature/new-api, copilot_mode: interactive, prompt: ""

Fix:

Ensure the prompt is not empty and check network connectivity.
