The prompt
Replace every [BRACKETED] placeholder with your own details before running it.
How this prompt is structured
Output format
Complete runnable test suite (10+ tests) + summary table of scenarios covered
Why this template works
Requiring test names to read as specifications transforms tests from verification tools into documentation. The contract comment above each test forces intentional design rather than coverage-metric-chasing.
Pro tips
Paste the function signature AND a description of the intended behaviour separately — the AI will catch discrepancies between them
Add 'include tests that document what the function explicitly does NOT do' to RULES — these are the tests that catch scope creep later
Run the generated tests immediately and fix any that fail due to import paths or syntax before trusting the logic
Ask the AI to generate a failing test first (TDD style) when designing a new function — it forces clearer specification
