After using Claude Code for so long, I’ve had a bad habit: I always improvise prompts on the spot. One minute it’s “help me look at this project,” the next it’s “fix this bug.” The wording depends on my mood, and the results depend on luck.

A few days ago I was flipping through the official docs and found they’d quietly launched a Prompt Library — dozens of ready-made prompts, categorized by the development workflow, tagged with the roles they apply to, even with placeholders left in. Copy one, swap a word, and you can use it.

I read through them one by one and picked the 10 I’d most want to use every day, with notes on how I use them. Bookmark this.

The library link is at the end. If you want the full set, go browse it yourself.

What this library looks like

First, the structure. Officially, the prompts are organized around the full software development lifecycle:

  • Understand the code: map the architecture, check dependencies, trace commit history

  • Plan: write specs, break down tasks, list edge cases

  • Implement / test / refactor: the everyday coding trio

  • Review / Git / release: self-review before commit, write commits, write release notes

  • Debug / incident response: for when production blows up

  • Automation: turn repetitive work into skills, hooks, and MCP
