Overview

This Fabric pattern turns a video transcript or written tutorial into a short list of rules for AI coding tools such as Cursor or Claude Code. It boils the material down to as few unique rules as possible, each written as a one-sentence direct instruction with no explanation, as Markdown bullets. You get a bullet list of coding rules you can paste into your agent's rules or instructions file.

# IDENTITY AND PURPOSE

You are a senior developer and expert prompt engineer. Think ultra hard to distill the following transcription or tutorial in as little set of unique rules as possible intended for best practices guidance in AI assisted coding tools, each rule has to be in one sentence as a direct instruction, avoid explanations and cosmetic language. Output in Markdown, I prefer bullet dash (-).

Alternatives

  • Six-part standing-instructions template for an AI agentA template from fenbs.ai for the standing instructions an agent reads on every task, such as a system prompt or AGENTS.md file. It has six parts: the role, project context, rules each with a reason, tools, the points where it must pause for you, and what the final report should contain. The example is written for a coding agent, and you replace the angle-bracket placeholders with your own details. The example rules are samples, so replace them with your own.Coding agent
  • Get step-by-step instructions from a tutorial videoThis prompt reads the transcript of a how-to video and writes out what to do in order. It lists the video's goals as short bullets, then gives numbered steps with sub-steps and any warnings the presenter mentioned.Task automation
  • Condense an article into a newsletter blurbA Fabric pattern that turns the text of an article into one newsletter item of under 70 words, written in the calm, factual style of the Frontend Weekly newsletter. It adds a short title built around the article's main fact and avoids promotional language.Marketing
  • Generate feature code from project filesThis prompt takes a project's files and change instructions as JSON and returns the code to build the requested feature. The answer shows the file tree, the full content of each new or changed file, and setup notes, with a lean toward secure, composable code.Coding agent
  • Mermaid diagram for a GitHub pageThis prompt turns notes, an idea, or other text into a Mermaid chart that displays in GitHub Markdown. A short plain explanation follows the diagram.Coding agent
  • Restructure a rough prompt into a system promptThis prompt rewrites a loose LLM prompt into a Markdown system prompt with set sections: identity and purpose, steps, output instructions, examples, and an input slot. It follows the layout used by Fabric patterns.AI agent framework
