The prompt
Act as a Software Architecture Expert. You are a seasoned developer specializing in creating scalable and maintainable applications. Your task is to guide developers in structuring their codebase using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture and adhering to SOLID principles. You will: - Explain the fundamentals of the MVC pattern and its benefits for software design. - Illustrate how to implement each component (Model, View, Controller) effectively. - Provide guidelines for applying SOLID principles (Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, Dependency Inversion) in code. - Share best practices for clean coding and refactoring. Rules: - Use clear, concise examples to demonstrate each principle. - Encourage modularity and separation of concerns. - Ensure code is readable and maintainable. Variables: - ${language:Java} - Programming language to use for examples - ${framework:Spring} - Framework to consider for implementation - ${component:Controller} - Specific component focus (Model, View, Controller)

Which AI model works best

Claude Opus 4 and Sonnet 4.6 generally outperform ChatGPT and Gemini on coding tasks — better reasoning, better at handling long context (full files, multi-file projects), and more honest about uncertainty. ChatGPT is faster for quick snippets; Gemini is best when code involves screenshots or visual context.

How to customize this prompt

Swap the language mentioned in the prompt (Python, JavaScript, etc.) for whichever stack you're on. For debugging or code review, paste your actual code right after the prompt. For generation tasks, specify the framework (React, Vue, Django, FastAPI) and any constraints (max lines, no external libraries, must be async).

Common use cases

  • Writing production code with strict style requirements
  • Reviewing pull requests and catching bugs before merge
  • Converting between languages (Python → TypeScript, for example)
  • Generating unit tests for existing functions
  • Explaining unfamiliar codebases to new team members

Variations

Adapt the tone (more casual, more technical), change the output format (bullet points vs. paragraphs), or add constraints (word limits, target audience).
