Write a clear prompt so AI writes useful code

Use this guide whenever you ask an AI assistant to write or change code and keep getting answers that do not fit. Have a short description of your project, the language and framework you use and any relevant code or error messages ready.

Step by step

1. State the goal in one sentence

   Start with what the code should do from the user's point of view, for example: add a form that saves a customer's name and email. Avoid vague requests like make it better. A clear goal stops the AI guessing.
