Usage Examples

Prompt Template

I'm working on a project that requires [SPECIFIC_TASK]. I need to ask you a series of questions to gather the necessary information. Please confirm if you're available to answer these questions now. If not, I can queue them for later. [DESCRIBE_QUESTIONS_BRIEFLY]

Example Output

User: I'm working on a project that requires designing a user authentication system. I need to ask you a series of questions to gather the necessary information. Please confirm if you're available to answer these questions now. If not, I can queue them for later. The questions will be about user roles, security requirements, and integration with existing systems.

AI: I'm available to answer your questions now. Let's start with user roles. What are the different types of users that will interact with the system?

User: We have three types of users: administrators, managers, and regular users.

AI: Thank you. Next, what are the security requirements for each role? For example, what level of access should each role have?

User: Administrators have full access, managers can view and edit user data but not delete accounts, and regular users can only view their own data.

AI: Got it. Lastly, how will this authentication system integrate with your existing systems? Are there any specific APIs or protocols you need to support?

User: We need to integrate with our existing REST API and support OAuth 2.0 for third-party integrations.

AI: Thank you for the information. Based on your requirements, I recommend using a combination of JWT for token-based authentication and role-based access control (RBAC) for managing permissions. Would you like me to provide a more detailed design or implementation plan?
