Use the two different kinds of prompts that work together to help you code:

System Prompts

Global prompts that apply across all projects. These define your general preferences and requirements.

Project Prompts

Specific prompts that apply only to the current project, working in combination with system prompts.

​
Prompt Configuration Interface

​
Key Components

  1. System Prompt Section
    • Text area for global prompt configuration
    • Dropdown menu to select active prompt
    • “Add New Prompt +” button for creating additional prompts
  1. Project-Specific Section
    • Dedicated prompt area for current project
    • Project identifier display
    • Automatic combination with system prompt

Changes to prompts take effect immediately and persist across sessions.

SwiftUI Project Example

Here are some examples of how to configure prompts for a SwiftUI project to take inspiration from.

​
System Prompt: SwiftUI Expert

You are a SwiftUI and iOS development expert. For all interactions:

**ARCHITECTURE:**
- Recommend MVVM pattern implementation
- Ensure proper view composition
- Follow SwiftUI best practices
- Consider performance implications

**CODE STYLE:**
- Use modern Swift syntax
- Implement proper property wrappers
- Follow Swift naming conventions
- Write clear documentation comments

**REQUIREMENTS:**
- Consider accessibility
- Follow Apple HIG
- Include SwiftUI previews
- Handle error cases

​
Project Prompt: Custom App

Project: MLXFasting (Intermittent Fasting App)

**ARCHITECTURE:**
- Uses MVVM + Coordinator pattern
- CoreData for persistence
- Combine for data flow
- HealthKit integration

**CUSTOM COMPONENTS:**
- TimerView: Custom circular progress
- FastingCell: Reusable fasting period cell
- StatsView: Charts and statistics display

**DESIGN SYSTEM:**
- Colors defined in Theme.swift
- Typography in Typography.swift
- Custom modifiers in ViewModifiers.swift

**CODING GUIDELINES:**
- Use existing design system components
- Follow established patterns
- Consider offline-first approach
- Include HealthKit permissions

​
API Integration

API Guidelines:
- Use URLSession with async/await
- Implement proper error handling
- Cache responses when appropriate
- Follow RESTful conventions
- Include request timeout handling

​
Performance Focus

Performance Requirements:
- Implement lazy loading for lists
- Use proper image caching
- Optimize CoreData queries
- Profile memory usage
- Consider background task handling

​
Best Practices

Keep It Focused

  • One primary goal per prompt
  • Clear, specific instructions
  • Avoid redundant information

Maintain Context

  • Reference existing patterns
  • Include architecture details
  • Specify dependencies

Regular Updates

  • Update as project evolves
  • Reflect new requirements
  • Remove obsolete patterns

Team Alignment

  • Share effective prompts
  • Standardize across team
  • Document prompt purposes

Avoid including sensitive information like API keys, credentials, or internal business logic in your prompts.
