Describe the Request Flow
Where you'll practice this
2 Promptles scenarios teach this principle directly. Each one drops you into a real engineering ticket and asks you to write the prompt you'd send to Claude Code.
The New Route
You're building a Node.js/Express API and need to add a new POST `/api/comments` endpoint. The project is organized into separate directories: `routes/` for route handlers, `middleware/` for validation logic, and `models/` for Mongoose schemas. A comment has a `body` (required…
The Internal API
Your team needs a simple Express API in a file called `deals-api.js` with three endpoints for managing sales deals. `GET /api/deals` should list all deals, filterable by query parameters `stage` (string) and `date_from`/`date_to` (ISO dates). `POST /api/deals` should create a…

Architect Before You Ask
Ask for a Plan First
Request a plan before any multi-file change — approve the approach, then let it code.
Break the Workflow into Steps
Number each step so Claude builds pieces, not monoliths.
Combine Context with Action
Coordinate Across Files
Delegate to a Subagent
Spawn a subagent for research-heavy subtasks; brief it on scope, limits, and report shape.
