Developer Prompts

Focused prompts for daily development workflows — code, MRs, pipelines, and debugging.

Morning Standup

"Show me my open MRs and their pipeline status"

"What review requests are waiting for me?"

"List my todos — what needs attention?"

Working with Branches

"Create a branch feature/user-auth from main in my-org/api"

"Show me all branches matching feature/* in my-org/api"

"Compare feature/user-auth with main — what's the diff?"

Create branch

{
  "project_id": "my-org/api",
  "branch": "feature/user-auth",
  "ref": "main"
}

List feature branches

{
  "action": "list_branches",
  "project_id": "my-org/api",
  "search": "feature/"
}

Compare branches

{
  "action": "compare",
  "project_id": "my-org/api",
  "from": "main",
  "to": "feature/user-auth",
  "per_page": 20
}

Creating Merge Requests

"Create an MR from feature/user-auth to main in my-org/api"

"Create a draft MR for my work-in-progress"

Standard MR

{
  "action": "create",
  "project_id": "my-org/api",
  "source_branch": "feature/user-auth",
  "target_branch": "main",
  "title": "feat: Add user authentication module",
  "description": "## Changes\n- JWT token generation\n- Session middleware\n- Login/logout endpoints\n\n## Testing\n- Added unit tests for auth service\n- Integration tests for endpoints",
  "remove_source_branch": true
}

Draft MR

{
  "action": "create",
  "project_id": "my-org/api",
  "source_branch": "feature/user-auth",
  "target_branch": "main",
  "title": "Draft: User authentication (WIP)",
  "description": "Work in progress - not ready for review yet"
}

Editing Files

"Update the version in package.json to 2.0.0"

"Create a new config file src/config/auth.ts"

Update file

{
  "action": "single",
  "project_id": "my-org/api",
  "file_path": "src/config/auth.ts",
  "content": "export const AUTH_CONFIG = {\n  tokenExpiry: '24h',\n  refreshExpiry: '7d',\n};",
  "commit_message": "feat: add auth configuration",
  "branch": "feature/user-auth"
}

Multiple files

{
  "action": "batch",
  "project_id": "my-org/api",
  "branch": "feature/user-auth",
  "commit_message": "feat: add auth module files",
  "files": [
    {
      "file_path": "src/auth/index.ts",
      "content": "export { AuthService } from './service';"
    },
    {
      "file_path": "src/auth/service.ts",
      "content": "export class AuthService {\n  // implementation\n}"
    }
  ]
}

Debugging CI

"My pipeline failed — show me the error logs"

"Retry the failed test job"

"What's the status of my MR's pipeline?"

See Debug Pipeline Failures for the complete workflow.

Code Search

"Search for AuthService across all projects"

"Find files containing TODO in my-org/api"

Code search

{
  "action": "project",
  "project_id": "my-org/api",
  "scope": "blobs",
  "search": "AuthService",
  "per_page": 20
}

Global search

{
  "action": "global",
  "scope": "blobs",
  "search": "AuthService",
  "per_page": 20
}

Daily Workflow

1. Check todos and review requests
2. Review pending MRs assigned to you
3. Push code and create/update MRs
4. Monitor pipeline status
5. Address review feedback
6. Merge approved MRs
