Example: written by our editors, not real AI output.

Most likely causes: 1. Some records have no “email” field (likely). Check: count records without “email” with a query. 2. The field was renamed … Minimal change: user.get("email") instead of user["email"], plus a test with the field missing.

Your prompt

I get an error in [Language/framework].
Expected: [Expected]
Actual: [Error]

Relevant code:
[Code]

Approach:
1. Name the three most likely causes, ordered by likelihood.
2. Give one concrete check for each cause (log output, test or command).
3. Only then propose a minimal change and explain why it fixes the error.
Do not change anything unrelated to the error.

How to use it

  1. Remove credentials, tokens and customer data from code and logs.
  2. Copy the prompt into a chat tool or your code editor's chat.
  3. Run the checks and report the results back before you accept the fix.
  4. Write a test that reproduces the error and passes after the fix.

Works in these tools

Prompts work in many chat and generator tools. This selection comes from our catalog; prices as shown on the tool page.

Why does this work?

Asking straight for a solution often yields a plausible but wrong change. Hypotheses plus checks separate guesswork from evidence.

Tips

  • Include the full stack trace, not just the last line.
  • With agents in the editor, run the analysis without write access first, then approve the fix.
