PROMPT GUIDE
Map likely failures before connecting a third-party API to a product. Replace the bracketed details with your own project information before use.
Copy this prompt
Build a failure map for an integration between [app] and [API]. Describe authentication, rate limits, pagination, retries, idempotency, timeouts, malformed responses, partial success, webhook ordering, and provider outages. For each failure mode give a user-visible symptom, detection signal, safe fallback, and test case. Separate confirmed API behavior from assumptions that require official documentation. End with a minimal monitoring dashboard and a release checklist. Never place secrets in examples or logs.
How to use it
Paste only non-sensitive API documentation and known response shapes. Review the output against your source material, then revise one requirement at a time. Explore more free examples in the AI Craft Pad prompt library.
