Software Engineering and Automation Delivery: A Production Prompt for AI-Assisted Engineering

TL;DR AI can generate a plausible API, script, integration, data pipeline, or infrastructure automation surprisingly quickly. That does not mean the work is ready to merge, deploy, support, or trust. The difficult engineering questions often remain outside the generated code: What is the interface contract? Which inputs are untrusted? What happens after a timeout? Can a write be safely retried? Wh
