Hi, thanks a lot for open sourcing this prompt library for common software engineering tasks.
I wanted to share one external resource that might be useful for users who build real world RAG or long context workflows around this library.
What it is
The map defines 16 concrete failure modes such as:
- ingestion and parsing drift
- chunking and context contract mismatch
- vector store fragmentation and metric problems
- retrieval order issues and prompt injection
- evaluator mismatch for long horizon chains
Each failure type comes with a short description, symptoms that users can observe, and a minimal fix strategy. The idea is that people can treat it as a checklist when a RAG or agentic workflow behaves in strange ways.
Why it might fit this repo
Many developers who use this prompt library will eventually plug prompts into retrieval workflows and production style systems. At that point the main problems are less about wording single prompts and more about debugging the whole context pipeline. The 16 Problem Map gives a compact list of failure patterns that people can check before they start random prompt tweaks.
Possible integration
Totally up to you of course. Some low friction options could be:
- a short bullet in the README under a section like "Further reading" or "RAG and pipeline debugging"
- a one sentence mention in any documentation page that talks about failure modes, reliability or production usage
If this feels out of scope for the project that is completely fine. Either way, thank you for maintaining this library and for sharing it with the community.
