ChatGPT Prompts for Python

"Works on my machine" — famous last words. Describe your app — get a Dockerfile and setup that runs the same everywhere, explained so you understand it.

Describe what you want to match in plain words. Get the regex, every piece explained, and test cases — so you actually trust it before you ship it.

Paste the function you're embarrassed by. Get it cleaner and readable with the exact same behavior — plus a note on what was wrong so you stop doing it.

The code you'll forget in a month. Paste it — get comments that explain the WHY, not the obvious, so future-you (or your team) isn't lost.

Stop guessing. Give it the symptom and the code — it ranks the likely causes and tells you the one thing to test next. Diagnoses before it touches a fix.

Paste your code. It reviews like it's shipping to a million users tomorrow — bugs, security holes, the slow stuff — ranks every issue, and ends with ship or don't. No flattery.

You know you should. Paste the function — get the test cases that actually catch bugs, including the edge cases you'd forget at 6pm.

Stop deploying by hand and praying. Tell it your stack and host — get a CI/CD setup that tests and ships automatically, with the config and the why.

Designing an API and want it to not be a regret in six months? Describe what it does — get clean endpoints, naming, and the edge cases you'd forget.

It works but it's slow. Paste it — get where the real bottleneck is, the optimized version, and whether the speed-up is even worth the complexity.
