A threat model table (threat, actor, asset, STRIDE category, risk, mitigation, verification) plus the top three mitigations to implement first.

Keywords: threat model, attack surface, trust boundaries, abuse cases, assets, mitigations

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to find code that nothing uses: unused exports, unreferenced files, orphaned configs, and unreachable branches. It is read-only, and every finding is backed by a search that proves nothing references it.

Keywords: dead code, unused exports, unreferenced files, orphaned config, unreachable code, cleanup, tree shaking

Paste this entire prompt into your agent. This heavy-format spec is for investigating near-capacity disks with strict read-only constraints and evidence-backed reports.

Keywords: system, storage, disk, files, directories, exploration, investigation, read-only, report

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to list every way a codebase actually starts: servers, CLIs, workers, scheduled jobs, migrations, and scripts. For each one it records the config it needs, the ports it opens, and where in the code it begins. It is read-only.

Keywords: entrypoints, how to run, startup, onboarding, services map, cron jobs, workers, ports, environment variables

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to trace the blast radius of a planned change before anything is edited - every module, contract, schema, config, and test it could affect, each with a file and line as proof.

Keywords: impact analysis, blast radius, dependencies, call sites, change planning, read only

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to turn a real technical decision into an Architecture Decision Record (ADR) that future teammates will actually understand.

One ADR file with this structure: Title, Status (proposed/accepted/ superseded), Context, Decision, Options considered, Consequences. Keep it under ~100 lines.

Keywords: adr, architecture decision record, decision log, tradeoffs, rfc, documenting decisions

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to add caching that actually pays for itself - with invalidation designed up front and hit rates measured, not assumed.

Keywords: caching, cache, invalidation, ttl, staleness, redis, memcached

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to hunt down race conditions, deadlocks, and async bugs methodically instead of sprinkling sleep calls and hoping.

Keywords: concurrency, race condition, deadlock, thread safety, locks, async bugs

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to decide whether a legacy system should be modernized at all, and if so in what order. This is the heavy format for work where a wrong answer ships a regression, so the deliverable is an evidence-backed verdict, not a rewrite.

Keywords: legacy code, modernization, assessment, strangler fig, end of life

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to design an event-driven flow that survives duplicate, late, and out-of-order delivery. This is the heavy format for flows where a lost, duplicated, or replayed event costs money, so the design is proven before it ships.

Keywords: message queue, event driven, ordering, idempotent consumer, replay

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to design a system from requirements the way a senior engineer would: constraints first, components second, tradeoffs stated out loud, and every assumption labeled.

Keywords: system design, scalability, distributed systems, architecture, capacity, design doc

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to inventory a codebase's technical debt and get a prioritized paydown plan grounded in evidence, not vibes.

A table: item, evidence, effort, risk of inaction, verdict, first step. Then the top three actions you would take this week and why.

Keywords: technical debt, triage, prioritization, payoff, maintenance plan, what to fix first

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to sweep a codebase across multiple correctness factors and produce a clear, evidence-backed, priority-ordered list of bugs - not guesses.

Keywords: bug finder, find bugs, defect, static analysis, correctness, bug hunt

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to sweep a codebase across multiple correctness factors, produce a clear, priority-ordered list of bugs - and leave behind durable documentation of everything found so the team can act on it later.

Keywords: bug finder, documentation audit, spec compliance, correctness, contradiction

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to test how the system behaves when dependencies fail - and to close the gaps found, with evidence.

Keywords: chaos engineering, resilience, fault injection, failure testing, degrade gracefully

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to find real coverage gaps and fill them with tests that matter - not lines that bump the percentage.

Keywords: test coverage, coverage gap, untested code, coverage report, what is not tested

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to set up consumer-driven contract tests between services, so API drift is caught in CI before it hits production.

Keywords: contract testing, api contract, pact, schema compatibility, breaking api

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to scaffold end-to-end or integration tests - realistic scenarios with proper setup, not toy smoke tests.

Keywords: end to end tests, e2e, playwright, cypress, browser testing, integration tests

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to run mutation testing and validate that your test suite actually catches real defects, not just achieves coverage numbers.

Keywords: mutation testing, mutation score, test quality, meta testing, weak tests

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to write property-based tests that catch bugs through generated inputs rather than hand-picked examples, with every property asserted in code and shrunk to a minimal case on failure.

Keywords: property based testing, fuzzing, generated inputs, hypothesis, invariants, test cases, edge case

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to build code test-first. Strict discipline - no code without a failing test, no skipping steps.

Keywords: tdd, test driven development, red green refactor, unit test, write test first, cycle

Copy-paste the block below into any AI coding agent to write tests that actually protect the code - meaningful assertions, real edge cases, and the repo's own testing conventions.

Keywords: test writing, unit tests, test cases, fixtures, mocking, arrange act assert
