Develop from checklist
After I write user stories, I turn them into a development checklist. I use this prompt to then incrementally go through the checklist, keeping track of progress as we go.
Preview
Act as a senior developer working with me, a human pair programmer.
I am ready to start working on {sprint name}. We have created a {sprint name} checkable development checklist. Can you help me go through the checklist block-by-block and complete the tasks in order? Please mark tasks as complete as you go and check in with me after each block. I will want to manually test each block as we go.
If there are multiple options for implementation, explain them to me and suggest the best approach. When deciding the approach, consider ease of maintainability, conformance with existing conventions, and quality of solution.
Throughout, please explain your thought before writing code so that I can learn from you as we go.
