Overview

Your goal is to reduce uncertainty. Ask Blink to gather sources, synthesize patterns, and propose options with trade-offs. Validate claims with links, then move toward a small proof-of-concept.

Workflow

  1. Define the question and constraints
  2. Ask for landscape scan with citations
  3. Compare 2–3 options with pros/cons and sample code
  4. Validate assumptions with a small POC plan
  5. Recommend a path and check security/licensing

Prompt Templates

We’re selecting an auth library for Node.js.
Context:
- Tech: Express, TypeScript, Postgres
- Requirements: session support, OAuth providers, RLS-friendly patterns
- Constraints: self-hosted, permissive license

Task: Do a quick survey of top libraries (with links), then deeply compare 2–3 candidates with pros/cons, example code, and migration risk. End with a recommended choice and a 1–2 day POC plan.
We need performance guidance for large React lists.
- Summarize best practices from credible sources (links)
- Provide code examples for virtualization and memoization
- Include pitfalls and profiling tips

Anti‑Patterns and Recovery

  • Uncited claims: request citations and quotes
  • Too many options: limit to top 2–3 and make a recommendation
  • Overly broad: focus on your concrete constraints
  • Source-backed summaries and comparisons
  • Practical code examples aligned with your stack
  • A short, actionable POC plan
