Prompt Generator

Generate structured implementation prompts for phase-based project execution using an orchestrator/subagent pattern.

Quick Start

When triggered, gather these inputs from the user:

Workflow

1. Gather User Input

Ask the user for required variables. If context provides these values, confirm them:

To generate the implementation prompt, I need:
1. Phase number (e.g., 1, 2, 3)
2. Phase name (e.g., "Foundation", "Data Pipeline")
3. Path to the phase document
4. Project root directory
5. Path to general plan (optional)

2. Generate the Prompt

Read the template from references/implementation-prompt-template.md and substitute all {PLACEHOLDER} values with user-provided inputs.

3. Output and Save

1. Display: Output the complete generated prompt in the chat
2. Save: Use scripts/save_prompt.py to save to <PROJECT_ROOT>/docs/prompts/

echo "<generated_prompt>" | python scripts/save_prompt.py <project_root> <phase_number> <phase_name>

The file is saved as: docs/prompts/phase-<N>-<name>.md

Template Features

The generated prompt includes:

• Orchestration requirements: Main session coordinates, subagents implement
• Delegation patterns: File creation, testing, infrastructure, integration
• Progress tracking: TodoWrite integration for task management
• Validation workflow: Group validation and final success criteria checks
• Error handling: Failure analysis, rollback procedures, escalation guidance
• Handoff preparation: Documentation for next phase transition
