PromptForge

An AI quality coach for software builds

Pick your AI coding tool, walk through a short wizard, get back a setup prompt that pins your stack, calls out the failure modes most risky for THIS project, surfaces the practitioner-attributed best practices that fit, and teaches your AI to discover the right tools as it works. Every recommendation traces to a catalogue row your runtime AI can verify before it codes.

Built by Abdalla Bakr, a UK software-engineering student building AI dev tools. See the worked example for one brief end-to-end, or read more at abdallabakr.dev.

Common scoping mistakes PromptForge catches before you start

Generic AI assistants will happily produce a plan for any of these. You find out it doesn't work mid-build. PromptForge flags the conflict and points to a fix as soon as the answers stack up.

  • Flag and resolve

    £0 budget + paid payment processor

    Card processors are free to integrate but take a per-transaction cut. Some handle VAT for you for an extra few percent. We lay out the trade-offs and the free-tier alternatives so you pick with eyes open.

  • Flag and resolve

    SQLite + 10,000 users

    SQLite's single-writer model falls over once traffic ramps. We point you to a Postgres tier that fits the free budget and write the migration path into the plan, not a footnote buried two months in.

  • Hard mismatch

    iOS native build on Windows

    Xcode requires macOS. That's an Apple constraint, not ours. We point to the cloud-Mac options before Phase 0, not after you've installed the wrong toolchain.

  • Flag and resolve

    EU users on a US-only host

    GDPR puts personal data residency on you. We flag the gap when the audience is EU but the stack is pointed at US-only infra, and point you at EU-region equivalents (Supabase Frankfurt, Vercel fra1) before the data starts flowing.

Built for developers and freelancers

Developers building with AI

A spec your AI tool reads when it opens your project. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and others. Planning-mode trigger at the top, dependency graph wired through, security baseline non-negotiable. Paste it once; the AI builds from there.

Freelancers scoping client work

Paste the Upwork brief, Toptal scope, or Fiverr gig. Stack, compliance, scale, and timeline fill in automatically. Scope conflicts get flagged before you quote, and you walk away with a client-share- ready proposal alongside the developer spec.

What makes PromptForge different

  • Stack picked against your constraints. Budget, scale, compliance, AI tool. Fed to a rules engine that recommends for your situation, not a generic starting point.
  • Conflicts flagged before you build. iOS on Windows, card payments without EU hosting. The conflict and the fix get named before you waste the weekend.
  • Structured output, every time. Phase 0, Daily Workflow, Troubleshooting, Launch Checklist. A validator hard-fails on any missing section.
  • Format tailored to your AI tool. Claude Code gets CLAUDE.md + TASKS.md. Cursor gets workspace rules. Same plan, the right format.
  • Pinned library versions. Tell us “Next 15.1.3, Python 3.12”. The setup prompt pins your AI to those versions instead of reaching for stale training data.
  • Edit one answer, see what shifts. Flip £0 to £20/mo and the database, hosting, and payments recommendations update instantly. No restart from scratch.
