Before and after prompts for Trae

Before
Stop Vitest rerunning every package when I change one workspace.
After
Limit Vitest watch runs to the changed workspace and its affected dependents. Inspect the current workspace graph, watcher configuration, and test scripts first. Preserve shared dependency behavior and keep continuous integration runs complete. Add tests for leaf changes, shared package changes, cycles, and an unknown workspace.
Why this is better: The prompt adds dependency and test boundaries so Trae can stop unrelated monorepo reruns.
Before
Add an internal page for safely toggling feature flags.
After
Add a feature flag console using the repository's existing admin interface patterns. Include search, environment labels, current value, owner, and last change details. Allow support to view flags and require administrators to confirm every toggle. Record successful changes in the audit log and test permissions, errors, and narrow screens.
Why this is better: The prompt defines roles and audit behavior so Trae can add a safer feature flag console.
Before
Why did adding the shared logger create a dependency cycle?
After
Explain the new dependency cycle without editing the open repository. Trace the shortest runtime path across billing, platform, and shared logging packages. Distinguish runtime imports from type only imports and cite the relevant manifests or files. Recommend the smallest boundary change and commands that prove the cycle is gone.
Why this is better: The prompt asks Trae for a read only graph trace and proof before any dependency refactor.
