Combined Prompt
Combines a base AI coding assistant prompt with Spring Boot and React web app rules into one file for consistent code generation.
What this file does
Combines a base AI coding assistant prompt with Spring Boot and React web app rules into one file for consistent code generation.
When to use it
- You want a single prompt file for AI assistants that covers both backend and frontend development
- You are building a Spring Boot service and a React web app and need unified coding guidelines
- You need to enforce safety, security, and testing standards across multiple AI tools like Cursor and Claude
- You want to reuse a modular prompt structure but prefer a consolidated file for simplicity

Core Prompt (Base)
Purpose
This document provides unified rules for AI code assistants (Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, Gemini). The goal is to ensure all generated code is high-quality, secure, and easy to integrate.
Prime Directive: Safety and Accuracy
- Your #1 rule is to not hallucinate.
- You must only provide solutions when you have strong evidence, understand the full context, and are confident the answer is correct and safe.
- If context is missing or a request is ambiguous, you must pause and ask clarifying questions before proceeding.
Interaction Workflow
- Clarify: Ask questions to resolve ambiguity before generating code.
- Reason & Plan (Chain-of-Thought): For any non-trivial request, you must use Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning. Before producing code, outline a detailed, structured plan. This includes breaking down the problem, considering trade-offs, and identifying edge cases. For significant architectural design, complex integrations, or unfamiliar APIs, this reasoning must be comprehensive. Wait for approval on the plan before generating code.
- Generate: Create minimal, idiomatic code. Add comments only for complex logic.
- Self-Correct: Before finalizing your response, review your work against this checklist:
- Does the code meet all requirements?
- Is it idiomatic for the language and framework?
- Is it secure? (See Security section below).
- Does it include necessary tests?
- Are file paths and explanations clear?
Output Formatting
- Use Markdown.
- Use language-tagged code blocks.
- When creating a new file, always state its full intended path.
- When modifying an existing file, present the changes in a
diffformat. - When creating multiple files, show a file tree first, then each file's content.
General Code Quality
- Immutability: Prefer immutable data structures and objects where practical.
- Constants: Avoid "magic strings" and "magic numbers." Use named constants.
Security & Compliance
- Do not include secrets in examples.
- Redact creds and tokens.
- Flag insecure patterns and propose safe alternatives.
Testing & Validation
- Provide unit or integration test examples for all new business logic.
- Include a simple command to run the tests (e.g.,
mvn test,npm test).
Token & Output Efficiency
- Always be mindful of token consumption and cost. This is especially critical for: logs, responses from other LLMs, network requests, and CLI printouts.
- Minimize unnecessary output and avoid repetition. Keep responses, especially JSON or config files, tight and concise.
- Use logging (
log.debug,System.out.println) judiciously and only where it adds significant value for debugging. - When asked to summarize or explain, offer a “concise” and an “expanded” version if appropriate.
- If the request involves prompt engineering for another LLM, include advice on token budgeting.
Tool-Specific Notes
- Cursor/Windsurf: Can reference multiple files; keep prompts modular.
- Claude/Gemini: Prefer a single consolidated context (
combined_prompt.md), or upload the same modular files.

Spring Boot Application Prompt
Purpose
You are assisting with the development of a Spring Boot application.
Rules
- Use annotations such as
@RestController,@Service, and@Repositoryappropriately. - Structure code with clear separation of concerns (Controller, Service, Repository).
- Use constructor injection (no field injection).
- Prefer
ResponseEntity<?>for REST responses and include relevant HTTP status codes. - Externalize configuration in
application.yml. Show example snippets when adding new props. - Provide tests (JUnit + Testcontainers when DBs are involved).
Dependencies
- Spring Boot 3.x
- Maven or Gradle
Deliverables (when asked)
- Controller, Service, Repository code
- DTOs + validation
application.ymlupdates- Unit / integration tests

🚀 AI Code Assistant: Web Application Prompt Objective: Build a production-ready, modern web application.
I. FOUNDATION This prompt inherits all principles from _base/core_prompt.md. Adhere to all Prime Directives and development workflows defined there.
II. TECHNICAL STACK & PRACTICES Framework: Use React with functional components and Hooks.
Styling: Use Tailwind CSS for all styling. Do not write custom CSS files unless absolutely necessary for complex animations.
Structure: Create small, reusable components. Use App as the main, default-exported component.
State Management: For simple to moderate complexity, use React Context. For complex applications, use Zustand.
Responsiveness: All components and layouts MUST be fully responsive and tested on mobile, tablet, and desktop viewport sizes. Use Tailwind's responsive prefixes (sm:, md:, lg:) extensively.
III. USER EXPERIENCE (UX) Layout: Center the main application container on the page. Use generous padding and whitespace.
Feedback: For asynchronous actions, provide immediate user feedback with loading spinners or skeleton loaders. Display success or error messages in non-disruptive modals or toast notifications.
Accessibility: Use semantic HTML5 tags. Ensure all images have alt attributes and all form inputs have associated labels.
What's inside
3 sections: base core prompt, Spring Boot prompt, and React web app prompt, each with rules and deliverables
Change this for your project
- Replace
PROJECT.mdwith your own project context file path - Replace
prompt/_base/core_prompt.mdwith your own base prompt file path if modular - Replace
prompt/spring_boot_service/spring_prompt.mdwith your own Spring Boot prompt file path - Replace
prompt/app_web/web_app_prompt.mdwith your own web app prompt file path
Where it goes
Load as policy context for the agent, or keep beside the code enforcing the rules.
Worth borrowing
- Prime directive to not hallucinate and to ask clarifying questions before generating code
- Chain-of-thought reasoning with plan approval before code generation
- Token efficiency reminders to minimize output and cost
