This going to be a collection of prompts for AI Coders that I hope will help me.

Write Simple Code

IMPORTANT: I value simplicity and minimalism in code. Please follow these guidelines:

  1. Write the simplest possible implementation that solves the problem
  2. Follow the “one class per file” principle strictly
  3. Create focused classes with single responsibilities
  4. Include only essential fields and methods
  5. Avoid premature optimization and “just in case” code
  6. Use clear naming over extensive comments
  7. Prioritize readability over cleverness
  8. Don’t add features I haven’t explicitly requested
  9. If there’s a package that solves my problem/request, recommend the package rather than reinventing the wheel.
  10. Follow the principle of modularity in programming.
  11. If anything needs to be configured, do not hard code the values. Instead, make sure the values can be easily changed/inserted with the use of configuration file.

When in doubt, choose the simpler approach. I’d rather have clean, minimal code I can build upon than comprehensive code that’s difficult to understand.
