# Prompt Development Templates

This directory contains focused templates to help you use AI assistance effectively at each stage of developing an implementation prompt. Each template addresses specific rules from the [Ten Simple Rules for AI-Assisted Coding](../ten-simple-rules-reference.md).

## Template Overview

### Preparation & Research
- **[01-domain-research.md](01-domain-research.md)** - Gather domain knowledge before implementation (Rule 1)
- **[02-problem-framing.md](02-problem-framing.md)** - Frame problems programmatically and design solutions (Rules 2, 4)

### Architecture & Design
- **[03-package-structure.md](03-package-structure.md)** - Design package/module structure and organization (Rules 2, 4)
- **[04-documentation-design.md](04-documentation-design.md)** - Design documentation structure and content (Rules 1, 4, 5)

### Specification & Design
- **[05-solution-specification.md](05-solution-specification.md)** - Specify inputs, outputs, and requirements (Rule 3)
- **[06-test-design.md](06-test-design.md)** - Design comprehensive test cases (Rules 6, 7)
- **[07-context-management.md](07-context-management.md)** - Manage context effectively (Rule 5)

### Implementation & Quality
