A robust prompt structure for building is: describe what you're doing in 2-4 sentences, tag the relevant files (avoiding files not immediately relevant), specify how to execute and what not to do, dump context (e.g. documentation), use delimiters to signal section breaks, repeat the core instruction, and specify output format.
