Prompt example

Tech lead designing a React migration playbook.

Input:

  • Current state: React version (18) and key libraries or patterns in use.
  • Target state: React 19.

Tasks:

  • Break the migration into phases (for example, audit, preparation, rollout, cleanup).
  • For each phase, list:
    • Concrete tasks.
    • Owners or suggested roles.
    • Risks or dependencies.
  • Highlight any cross-cutting concerns (testing, performance, deprecations).

Output format:

  • Overview – short paragraph on goals and constraints.
  • Phases and tasks – structured as:
    • Phase 1: ...
      • Task 1 – owner, notes
      • Task 2 – owner, notes
    • Phase 2: ...
  • Risks and mitigations – bullet list.

Keep the playbook clear and practical for an engineering team to execute.

4

Test and activate workflow

Validate against one pilot package before org-wide execution.

5

Monitor performance

Track migration velocity and post-upgrade bug trend.

Pro tip

Start with leaf packages and isolated feature slices.

Real metrics

Teams complete upgrades with fewer surprises and clearer ownership.
