Claude Code Prompt Generator
Claude Code is an agentic coding tool that works in your real repository: it reads and edits files, runs commands and tests, and verifies its own work. It rewards a specific kind of prompt, a scoped task with a definition of done it can actually check. Archly writes that task brief for you.
Why prompting Claude Code is different
- Claude Code verifies its own work, so the most valuable thing a prompt can contain is a success condition: which tests pass, which behavior works. Fuzzy goals with no check produce over-broad changes.
- It conforms to your repo rather than imposing a stack, which means prompts should reference your files and conventions instead of pasting code at it.
- Durable rules belong in a project memory file like CLAUDE.md, not repeated in every prompt. Knowing what goes where is half the craft.
How Archly structures prompts for Claude Code
- The Claude Code platform profile outputs a task brief with goal, file references, constraints, and a verifiable definition of done.
- Archly's intake separates one-off task details from durable project rules, so you know what belongs in the prompt and what belongs in CLAUDE.md.
- Project context carries across sessions, so each new task brief builds on the features you already shipped.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a good Claude Code prompt?
A precisely scoped task with acceptance criteria the agent can verify: name the behavior, reference the relevant files, and state how to confirm it works, such as tests passing or a flow behaving correctly. Let the agent explore the repo itself.
Should instructions go in the prompt or in CLAUDE.md?
One-off task details go in the prompt. Durable conventions, coding standards, and constraints that apply to every task belong in CLAUDE.md so the agent respects them without being reminded.
Does the same Archly brief work for Cursor too?
Largely, yes. Both respond to scoped, verifiable specs. Archly formats per platform, but the underlying structure of goal, scope, constraints, and acceptance criteria transfers across agent tools.
Archly also works with
Lovable, Bolt, v0, Cursor, Replit, Codex, OpenCode, Antigravity, AI Studio, Anything AI, Base44, and more.
