Iterate Decorator¶

Indicates this is an iteration on previously generated code, with specific improvements needed.

Category: Implementation-Focused

Parameters¶

Feedback Options¶

• review-comments: code review comments
• bug-fixes: bug fixes
• performance-issues: performance issues
• feature-requests: feature requests

Priority Options¶

• correctness: ensuring code correctness
• completeness: ensuring feature completeness
• performance: optimizing performance
• readability: improving code readability

Examples¶

Basic iteration on authentication middleware¶

+++Iterate(version=2, feedback=review-comments, priority=correctness)
Update the authentication middleware based on these code review comments: 1) Token expiration is not properly checked, 2) Error messages are not consistent.

The model will understand this is the second iteration of code, focusing on fixing specific review comments with correctness as the priority.

Performance improvement iteration¶

+++Iterate(feedback=performance-issues, priority=performance)
The database query in the user service is taking too long. Please optimize it.

The model will understand this is an iteration focused on performance issues, with performance optimization as the priority.

Model-Specific Implementations¶

gpt-4-turbo¶

Instruction: This is iteration {version}. I need you to improve the previously generated code based on {feedback} feedback. Focus primarily on {priority}.

Notes: Simpler phrasing works better with this model.

Implementation Guidance¶

Web development¶

Original Prompt:

Create an authentication middleware for Express.js

Transformed Prompt:

This is iteration 2 of the code implementation. Please focus on addressing the following feedback: code review comments, with priority on ensuring code correctness.

Create an authentication middleware for Express.js

Notes: The decorator indicates this is a follow-up request to improve previously generated code.
