AI Prompts by @ryanlewis

Home

👋 Hello, I'm Ryan.

I've collated a series of prompts and Claude Code commands that have served me well in my software engineering work. These are the exact prompts I use daily for managing Jira tickets, implementing features, writing tests, and maintaining code quality.

This site contains a curated collection of AI prompts and Claude Code commands specifically designed for software engineering workflows - from project management and issue tracking to code implementation, testing, and deployment.

Getting Started

Browse through the collection of software engineering prompts and commands organised by workflow. Each prompt is designed to be:

  • Copy-ready - Simply copy and paste into your AI tool of choice
  • Workflow-focused - Covers complete engineering processes from planning to deployment
  • Tool-aware - Optimised for modern development tools and practices
  • Well-tested - All prompts have been validated in real engineering scenarios

Software Engineering Workflows

These prompts and commands cover key aspects of software development:

  • Project Planning - Breaking down requirements, creating technical specifications
  • Issue Management - Creating and implementing Jira tickets, tracking progress
  • Code Implementation - Structured approaches to feature development and bug fixes
  • Testing & Quality - Writing tests, ensuring code coverage, maintaining standards
  • Code Review - Analysing changes, providing feedback, ensuring best practices
  • Documentation - Technical docs, API references, architectural decisions

Engineering Stack & Tools

These prompts are specifically designed around Jira, Python, and JavaScript workflows, covering project management, ticket creation, development practices, testing, and code quality. While these prompts are optimised for these tools, they serve as excellent examples and templates that can be easily adapted for:

  • Other project management tools (Azure DevOps, Linear, GitHub Issues, etc.)
  • Different programming languages and their respective testing/linting workflows
  • Similar development and documentation processes

Think of these as proven patterns you can customise for your specific tools and tech stack.

For coding agents: These prompts work best when agents have MCP tooling configured for Jira integration, allowing direct interaction with issues and tickets. For local development tools, ensure your project's CLAUDE.md includes detailed build and run instructions.

How to Use This Site

  1. Navigate using the sidebar to find prompts by category
  2. Preview prompts to understand their structure and purpose
  3. Copy the prompt template and customise as needed
  4. Iterate and refine based on your specific requirements
