Before and after prompts for Claude Code
Rough request on the left, the PromptDC rewrite on the right.
Before
Make external_ref required without locking the invoices table.
After
Make the invoice external reference required without a long production table lock. Inspect the current Django model, migrations, and database constraints first. Use staged schema changes, a resumable backfill, validation, and final enforcement. Add focused tests and document the safe deployment order in the migration comments.
Why this is better: The prompt adds a staged migration and rollout checks so Claude Code can avoid a blocking change.
Before
Add JSON output to the audit summary command.
After
Add an optional JSON output mode to the audit summary command. Preserve the current text output, diagnostics, and exit codes when the flag is absent. Follow existing command conventions and keep machine output separate from errors. Add integration tests for success, empty results, invalid input, and failure output.
Why this is better: The prompt defines compatibility and test cases so Claude Code can add JSON without breaking scripts.
Before
Fix the timezone label flicker and hydration warning.
After
Fix the account timezone label so server and client rendering agree. Inspect the existing Next.js component and its hydration behavior before editing. Render a stable initial value, then update only when client timezone data is available. Add tests for the server output, hydration, and the final localized label.
Why this is better: The prompt clarifies render timing and tests so Claude Code can remove the hydration mismatch cleanly.
