Prompt template packs are easy to buy and easy to forget. Honest assessment after three months.
Daily Use (5 templates)
Code Review Checklist: security → performance → maintainability → edge cases. Structured prompts produce structured outputs.
Bug Analysis Template: symptom → code → root cause → investigation steps. Fresh perspective on problems you're too close to see.
Technical Documentation Generator: signatures + comments → complete API docs.
Commit Message Writer: diff → Conventional Commits format. Used every commit.
SQL Query Optimizer: slow SQL → execution plan analysis. Useful first diagnostic pass.
Situation-Triggered (8 or so)
API Error Response Designer, Database Schema Review, Performance Profiling, Test Case Generator. Valuable when triggered.
Not Worth It (the rest)
Generic writing templates (email, meeting summary) don't belong in a coding toolkit. Modern LLMs handle these natively.
Buying Guidance
- Vertical specificity: Generic prompts aren't worth buying.
- Output structure: Good templates define what the AI output should look like.
About 8-10 templates have sustained daily value. For people shipping code regularly, that ratio works.
Available on Gumroad and Payhip.
