Replit Claude Code Prompting Skill
Transform vague coding requests into effective Claude Code prompts optimized for Replit environments.
Core Principle: Specificity Drives Success
Claude Code's success rate improves dramatically with specific instructions. Vague prompts lead to misaligned implementations and wasted iterations.
Transform vague → specific:
| Vague (Poor) | Specific (Good) |
|---|---|
| "add user auth" | "Add email/password authentication using Passport.js with bcrypt for password hashing. Create login/register routes, session middleware, and protect the /dashboard route. Store users in the existing PostgreSQL database." |
| "fix the bug" | "The form submission on /contact throws a 500 error when the email field is empty. Add server-side validation for required fields and return a 400 with specific error messages." |
| "make it look better" | "Update the landing page to match this design: [image]. Use the existing Tailwind classes. The hero should be full-viewport height with the gradient background from our design system." |
| "add tests" | "Write integration tests for the user registration flow covering: successful registration, duplicate email rejection, weak password rejection, and missing required fields. Use Jest with Supertest." |

secure
Use this skill when the user needs to secure their SaaS app, implement authentication, protect user data, secure APIs, or check for vulnerabilities. Also use when the user says 'is my app secure,' 'security check,' 'I'm worried about hackers,' 'how do I protect user data,' or 'security before launch.' Covers OWASP Top 10, auth best practices, data protection, and security checklists for apps built with AI tools.
158monitor
Use this skill when the user needs to set up production monitoring, track app health, configure error alerts, or respond to incidents. Also use when the user says 'my app went down,' 'how do I know if something breaks,' 'set up alerts,' 'is my app healthy,' or 'I found out from a user that my site was down.' Covers error tracking, uptime monitoring, performance metrics, and incident response for SaaS applications.
39debug
Use this skill when features break, users report errors, deployments fail, or tests don't pass. Guides systematic debugging: reproducing bugs, gathering diagnostic info, reading error messages, and working with AI tools to fix issues efficiently.
32build
Use this skill when the user needs to build features with AI coding tools, choose between Claude Code, Lovable, Replit, or Cursor, write effective prompts for code generation, or iterate on AI-generated code. Covers tool selection, prompting strategies, and development workflows for non-technical founders.
29test
Use this skill when the user needs to test features before deployment, create test scenarios, find edge cases, or verify bug fixes. Covers manual testing workflows, cross-browser testing, edge case identification, and testing checklists for non-technical founders.
23optimize
Use this skill when the user's app feels slow, the codebase feels bloated, or after significant development work. Also use when the user says 'my app is slow,' 'clean up my code,' 'reduce bundle size,' 'my hosting bill is too high,' or 'everything feels sluggish.' Optimizes across four dimensions: Speed (page load, API response), Code (unused files, dead code), Database (orphaned data, schema hygiene), and Dependencies (package bloat, bundle size).
