AutoBox Best Practices

Expert recommendations for using AI-assisted documentation development effectively.

🎯 Core Principles

1. Clarity Principle

Specific Requirements: Avoid vague expressions, provide detailed context
Clear Output Format: Specify expected output format and structure
Set Constraints: Define technical limitations and business constraints

2. Iterative Optimization Principle

Step-by-step Execution: Break complex tasks into smaller steps
Continuous Improvement: Continuously optimize prompts based on results
Version Management: Save effective prompt templates

3. Validation Principle

Human Review: Always review AI-generated content manually
Testing Validation: Verify correctness of generated code and documentation
Quality Control: Establish quality check processes

📝 Documentation Writing Best Practices

Prompt Design

✅ Recommended Approach

# Role Setting
You are a senior technical documentation engineer with 10 years of experience in documentation system development.

# Task Description
Please generate complete technical documentation for the following API endpoint:

## API Information
- Endpoint Name: User Management API
- Request Method: GET
- Request Path: /api/users
- Function Description: Retrieve system user list

## Output Requirements
1. Use Markdown format
2. Include complete parameter description tables
3. Provide example code in multiple programming languages
4. Add error handling explanations

Please generate professional, easy-to-understand API documentation.

Examples: Provide practical, usable examples
References: Related resources and further reading

User-Oriented

Organize content from user perspective
Provide clear operational steps
Include frequently asked questions
Add troubleshooting guides

🔧 Technical Implementation Best Practices

Code Generation

Prompt Template

Please generate a {{language}} script to implement the following functionality:

## Functional Requirements
{{detailed function description}}

## Technical Requirements
- Programming Language: {{language}}
- Framework/Libraries: {{related tech stack}}
- Performance Requirements: {{performance metrics}}

## Code Standards
- Add detailed comments
- Follow best practices
- Include error handling
- Provide usage examples

Please generate complete, runnable code.

Quality Assurance

Code Review: Check logic and syntax of generated code
Testing Validation: Run code to ensure functionality is correct
Performance Optimization: Check for performance bottlenecks and optimization opportunities
Security Check: Verify security and best practices
