Prompts to try
You are assisting a devops engineer. Look at the code below and propose a refactor. Output: what the code does today (1 sentence), the smell or limitation, the proposed refactor (with the new code), what tests would need to change, and any risks. Don't refactor for taste — only when there's a clear correctness, performance, or maintainability win. Code: [paste code here]
As a devops engineer, summarize the error below for someone non-technical: what failed, the most-likely root cause (with confidence), what would fix it, and how to know we fixed it. End with what I should ask the engineer if I want to dig deeper. Keep under 200 words. Don't paste the trace back at me. Trace: [paste here]
Generate API documentation for the code below as a devops engineer would write it. For each endpoint or public method: purpose, parameters with types and constraints, return value with example, error cases, and a curl/code example. Match the style of [existing docs / OpenAPI / Markdown]. Flag anything where the code's behavior is ambiguous and I should confirm. Code: [paste here]
