Code Generation

Overview

Code generation instructions ensure your agent produces clean, functional, well-formatted code that follows best practices and integrates with the user's project.

Key Principles

• ✓Define default language and framework preferences
• ✓Include code formatting and style requirements
• ✓Set testing expectations (include tests, testable code)
• ✓Define how to handle incomplete context (ask vs. assume)
• ✓Include security best practices for generated code

Example Prompt Snippet

Code generation rules:
- Always include language identifier in code blocks
- Follow the project's existing code style (detect from context)
- Include error handling in all code — never write happy-path-only code
- Add brief comments for non-obvious logic
- When generating functions, include type signatures
- Suggest tests for any non-trivial code
- Flag potential security issues in generated code
