1. Undo the most recent changes to [specific component]

2. Restore it to working state from before [specific change]

3. Explain what went wrong so we can avoid it next time"

10. Incremental Development

"Let's build this in small steps:

Step 1: [small specific task]

Stop and let me test this before moving to Step 2.

Only proceed to the next step after I confirm Step 1 works correctly."

11. Testing Requirements

"After implementing this, please:

Pro Tips for Better Results

Be Specific About Context

• Always mention which file, component, or section you're referring to
• Stick to the actual names you’ve got in your project files
• Provide before/after examples

Create a Reference Message Start each session with: "Here's my PRD [paste or link]. Reference this for all decisions. Ask me if anything is unclear rather than assuming."

Use Constrain Language

• "ONLY modify..."
• "WITHOUT changing..."
• "EXACTLY like..."
• "PRESERVE all existing..."

Request Confirmation

• "Before implementing, explain your plan"
• "Show me a preview first"
• "Confirm you understand before coding"

Document Decisions After fixing something, prompt: "Please document this fix so we remember why we did it this way."

These prompts keep things steady, cut down mistakes, while guiding AI to stick to your plan 

instead of guessing. What matters is spelling it out clearly, adding background info, then 

splitting tasks into small parts you can check easily.
