🧨my Three Prompt solution for CLI Coding an APP🔥
If you’re "vibe coding" without a structure, you’re just making a mess faster. To actually ship high-quality applications using Claude Code, I’ve refined a streamlined 3-Prompt Method.
This workflow moves you from a raw idea to a tested, completed feature without the AI losing the plot.
1. The Architect (The Documentation Prompt)
Before a single line of code is written, you need the "Source of Truth." The first prompt tells Claude to generate the structural DNA of the project(the CONTEXT):
Second Prompt: (the catalyst to success)
### MISSION OBJECTIVE: ARCHITECTURAL DEPLOYMENT
Act as a Senior Lead Systems Architect. Your mission is to transform high-level requirements into a tactical execution map with 100% technical fidelity.
### PHASE 1: STRATEGIC RECONNAISSANCE (PLAN.md)
Analyze the PRD.md and BLUEPRINT.md. Generate a PLAN.md that outlines the technical trajectory. This must include:
1. **Core Milestones:** High-level sequence of operations.
2. **Dependency Mapping:** Identify blocking tasks and critical paths.
3. **Environment Constraints:** Standards for security, performance, and UI/UX (Glassmorphism).
### PHASE 2: TACTICAL ORDER OF BATTLE (TODO.md)
Synthesize the PRD, BLUEPRINT, and PLAN into a granular, high-precision TODO.md. Every task must be formatted as follows without exception:
---
#### [TASK ID]: [Title]
* **Agent/Persona:** Specify the specialist required (e.g., Database Administrator, UI/UX Engineer, Security Auditor).
* **Skills Required:** List the specific languages, frameworks, and patterns (e.g., TypeScript, SQL Server, Tailwind CSS).
* **Execution Command (The Prompt):** A comprehensive, "one-shot" prompt designed for a task-specific agent to achieve a 100% accurate conclusion.
* **Validation Protocol:** Specific criteria for a mandatory "Smoke Test" that must pass before completion.
---
### OPERATIONAL RULES (ROEs)
1. **Precision Guarantee:** Tasks must be small enough to be "verifiable" but large enough to be "functional."
2. **Persistence:** Use a four-step execution protocol for every task: [PLAN & VERIFY] -> [IMPLEMENT] -> [SMOKE TEST] -> [MARK COMPLETE].
3. **The Gold Standard:** A task is only "DONE" if the Smoke Test passes in the current environment. Failure to pass requires an immediate rollback and re-plan.
**AWAITING DEPLOYMENT. REPORT STATUS UPON INITIALIZATION.**
The Secret Sauce: Each task in the TODO.md gets its own "Communication Prompt," ensuring the AI knows exactly what its mission is for that specific step.
2. The Orchestrator (The Sequencing Prompt)
Once the docs are ready, you switch gears. The second prompt initializes the Task Orchestrator. This tells Claude Code to treat the TODO.md as a strict sequence. It’s about discipline—executing one task at a time and constantly cross-referencing the Blueprint and PRD to prevent "feature creep" or architectural drift.
3. The Engine (The Execution Prompt)
The final prompt is where the magic happens. It triggers a 4-step protocol for every single task:
  1. Plan & Verify: Confirm the approach before typing.
  2. Implement: Write the actual code.
  3. Test: Ensure the feature actually works in the environment.
  4. Update: Mark the task as Completed in the TODO.md before even looking at the next item.
Why It Works
By separating Architecture, Orchestration, and Execution, you remove the cognitive load from the AI. You aren’t just asking it to "build an app"—you’re giving it a map, a compass, and a manual.
Final Prompt
### OPERATIONAL COMMAND: MISSION EXECUTION
Act as the **Lead Field Engineer**. Your mission is to execute the `TODO.md` file to a successful conclusion with 100% technical precision.
### MISSION PROTOCOL (THE LOOP)
For every task listed in `TODO.md` that is not yet marked [COMPLETED], you must strictly follow this 4-step deployment cycle:
1. **RECONNAISSANCE (Plan & Verify):** - Read the task Title, Agent/Persona, and Skills.
- Cross-reference the `PRD.md` and `BLUEPRINT.md` to ensure the implementation aligns with the master architecture.
- State your plan of action clearly before touching the code.
2. **ENGAGEMENT (Implement):** - Assume the specified **Agent/Persona**.
- Execute the code changes or file creations using the provided **Execution Command (The Prompt)** from the TODO.
- Adhere to the stack (e.g., TypeScript, SQL Server, Glassmorphism CSS).
3. **BATTLE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT (Smoke Test):** - Run the **Validation Protocol** defined in the task.
- You are strictly forbidden from marking a task complete if it fails the smoke test.
- If a test fails: Roll back, debug, and re-test until the criteria are met.
4. **LOGISTICS (Update & Advance):** - Once (and only once) the test passes, update the `TODO.md` status to **[COMPLETED]**.
- Move immediately to the next sequential task.
### RULES OF ENGAGEMENT (ROEs)
* **Zero Halucination:** If a dependency is missing, stop and report it immediately.
* **Structural Integrity:** Never modify files in a way that breaks the `BLUEPRINT.md`.
* **Atomic Commits:** (Optional) Commit after each successful [COMPLETED] task to maintain a clean history.
### STATUS REPORT
Begin with the first incomplete task in `TODO.md`. Report "MISSION START."
