System prompt for a coding agent fixing a repo issue

This prompt is a system prompt for a coding agent asked to fix an issue in an open-source repository. It lays out the work order: understand the issue, explore the code, plan, make small changes, debug, test, and confirm the fix. It comes from OpenAI's GPT-4.1 prompting guide and points to a /testbed folder you should swap for your repo path.

Tenant-side lease review as JSON

Title and hashtags for a YouTube Short

FAQ

What is an AI prompt?

A prompt is the text you give a language model so it generates a useful response — instructions, examples, constraints, and your content. Prompt engineering is the craft of writing those instructions clearly. This directory hosts ready-to-copy prompts on the page.

How do I use a prompt from this directory?

Open a prompt, copy the text, paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, or another chat, fill the placeholders, and send. No account is required on this site.

Prompt vs skill vs method?

A prompt is copyable chat text. A skill is an agent pack, often a SKILL.md folder. A method is one way to solve a use case on Can AI? — it might be a prompt, skill, agent, tool, or stack. The same prompt can appear here and as a method on a use case.

Are these prompts free to copy?

Yes. The prompt text is on the page. If we show a source credit, keep that credit. There is no paywall in front of the text.

How do prompts get listed?

Someone submits a prompt, or it arrives as part of a method on a use case. An editor publishes it. There is no paid placement.

What kinds of prompts are here?

Standalone prompts for writing, research, coding, ops, and other outcomes, tagged with the same sitewide categories as the rest of the directory so you can browse by area.
