Developer guide
Write a developer guide—quick start, setup, project layout, workflow and FAQs—so a new engineer can ship a change on day one.
Prompt
Write a developer guide (README) for a SaaS project built with Next.js and Go. Purpose: get a new engineer running the project locally and shipping a first change on day one. Requirements: open with a quick start of copy-pasteable commands in order with expected output, state required runtime and tool versions and how to start local services, list environment variables in a table, explain the directory layout and where new code goes, walk through branching, everyday commands, testing and code review, and close with common errors and fixes and where to get help. Use code blocks for commands, in a friendly, direct tone.

FAQ
What kind of file do I get?
A complete, downloadable document (Word or PDF) — not just a block of text in the chat.
Do I need to prepare anything?
No — you can send it right away and Ofox Chat writes a first version from the template. Add your background, data or existing documents (paste them in, or upload PDFs, Word files and more) and the result fits your situation much better.
Can I edit the prompt?
Yes. The prompt goes into the Ofox Chat input box — swap in your own topic, add requirements or drop what you don’t need before sending.
Can I copy and use the prompt directly?
Yes. Tap “Copy” on the prompt card to get the plain text — it works in other AI writing tools too.
