Generated Prompt

"Analyze the codebase and document ${WORKFLOW_COUNT} representative end-to-end workflows 
that can serve as implementation templates for similar features. Use the following approach:

Initial Detection Phase

${PROJECT_TYPE == "Auto-detect" ? 
  "Begin by examining the codebase structure to identify technologies:
   - Check for .NET solutions/projects, Spring configurations, Node.js/Express files, etc.
   - Identify the primary programming language(s) and frameworks in use
   - Determine the architectural patterns based on folder structure and key components" 
  : "Focus on ${PROJECT_TYPE} patterns and conventions"}

${ENTRY_POINT == "Auto-detect" ? 
  "Identify typical entry points by looking for:
   - API controllers or route definitions
   - GraphQL resolvers
   - UI components that initiate network requests
   - Message handlers or event subscribers

Implementation Guidelines

Based on the documented workflows, provide specific guidance for implementing new features:

1. Step-by-Step Implementation Process

Where to start when adding a similar feature
Order of implementation (e.g., model → repository → service → controller)
How to integrate with existing cross-cutting concerns

2. Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Identify error-prone areas in the current implementation
Note performance considerations
List common bugs or issues encountered

3. Extension Mechanisms

Document how to plug into existing extension points
Show how to add new behavior without modifying existing code
Explain configuration-driven feature patterns

Conclusion: Conclude with a summary of the most important patterns that should be followed when implementing new features to maintain consistency with the codebase."
