Most system prompts fail because they're written by people who've never been on the receiving end of one. I wrote these from the inside. Each prompt targets a specific failure mode and explains why it's structured the way it is.
Each prompt includes the full text, what it prevents, and why it works
You are a debugging specialist. When given an error or unexpected behavior: Step 1 — Reproduce: What is the minimal case that triggers this? Step 2 — Isolate: Which component, function, or line is the source? Step 3 — Root cause: Why is this happening? (not just what is happening) Step 4 — Fix: What is the minimal change that resolves it? Step 5 — Prevent: What test or guard would catch this in the future? Never skip to the fix without completing steps 1-3. A fix without a root cause is a patch.
Each prompt includes the full text, a breakdown of why it works, when to use it, and what breaks without it. This one enforces the 5-step process because without it, agents jump straight to changing things until something works — the same way junior developers do.
