## Dynamic AI Prompt for Automated Code Generation from Specifications

This prompt is designed to be adaptable across various AI code generation platforms and leverages best practices for prompt engineering to maximize the quality and relevance of generated code. It focuses on dynamically incorporating user-provided specifications to create tailored code outputs.

**Prompt Structure:**

“`
## Automated Code Generation Request

**1. Target Language:** [Specify the desired programming language. E.g., Python, Java, JavaScript, C++, Go, etc.]

**2. Development Platform/Framework (Optional):** [Specify the target platform or framework if applicable. E.g., React, Node.js, Spring Boot, .NET, etc. If none, specify “None”.]

**3. Code Functionality Description:** [Provide a detailed description of the desired code functionality. Be explicit about inputs, processes, and expected outputs. Use clear and concise language, avoiding ambiguity. Include examples if possible.]

**4. Specific Requirements:**

* **Input Format:** [Describe the format of the input data. E.g., JSON, CSV, text file, command-line arguments, etc.]
* **Output Format:** [Describe the desired format of the output. E.g., JSON, CSV, printed to console, saved to a file, etc.]
* **Error Handling:** [Specify any specific error handling requirements. E.g., try-catch blocks, custom error messages, logging, etc.]
* **Performance Considerations:** [If performance is critical, mention specific performance goals or constraints. E.g., time complexity, memory usage, etc.]
* **Code Style Guidelines:** [Specify any coding style guidelines to be followed. E.g., PEP 8 for Python, Google Java Style Guide, etc.]
* **Libraries/Dependencies:** [List any specific libraries or dependencies that should be used or avoided.]
* **External API Integrations:** [Specify any external APIs that the code needs to interact with, including authentication details (if safe to provide in the prompt) and expected data formats.]
* **Security Considerations:** [Mention any security best practices to be implemented. E.g., input validation, data sanitization, secure coding practices.]

**5. Example Input/Output (Optional, but highly recommended):** [Provide concrete example input(s) and the expected output(s) for the given functionality. This helps the AI model understand the logic and produce more accurate code.]

**6. Code Comments and Documentation:** [Specify the level of code comments and documentation required. E.g., “Detailed comments explaining each function and class,” or “Minimal comments focusing on complex logic.”]

**7. Testing Requirements (Optional):** [Specify any testing requirements, such as unit tests or integration tests. Provide example test cases if possible.]

**8. Additional Instructions (Optional):** [Provide any further instructions or clarifications that may be helpful for code generation.]

**Example:**

## Automated Code Generation Request

**1. Target Language:** Python

**2. Development Platform/Framework (Optional):** None

**3. Code Functionality Description:** Create a function that takes a list of integers as input and returns a new list containing only the even numbers from the input list.

**4. Specific Requirements:**
* **Input Format:** List of integers
* **Output Format:** List of integers

**5. Example Input/Output:**
Input: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Output: [2, 4, 6]

**6. Code Comments and Documentation:** Detailed comments explaining the function’s purpose and logic.

**Dynamic Prompt Usage:**

This prompt template can be easily adapted by filling in the bracketed placeholders with specific project requirements. The modular structure allows you to include or exclude sections based on your needs. For instance, if testing requirements are not relevant for a particular task, you can omit section 7.

**Benefits of this Prompt:**

* **Clarity and Specificity:** The structured format ensures that all necessary information is communicated to the AI model, reducing ambiguity and improving the quality of the generated code.
* **Flexibility and Adaptability:** The dynamic nature of the prompt allows it to be used for a wide range of code generation tasks across different AI platforms.
* **Best Practice Incorporation:** The prompt encourages best practices like clear documentation, error handling, and security considerations, resulting in more robust and maintainable code.
* **Improved AI Model Understanding:** By providing clear examples and specific requirements, the AI model can better understand the desired functionality and generate more accurate and efficient code.

By using this structured and detailed prompt, developers can effectively leverage AI code generation tools to accelerate their development workflows and improve code quality.
