### 2. Claude Code Integration Patterns

#### Prompt Engineering for Development
```python
class DevelopmentPromptTemplates:
    """Standardized prompts for development tasks with Claude Code"""
    
    @staticmethod
    def generate_component_prompt(requirements: dict, context: dict) -> str:
        """Generate component implementation prompt"""
        return f"""
        Implement a Python component with these specifications:
        
        Requirements: {requirements}
        System Context: {context}
        
        Follow these patterns for the Chat App:
        1. Async/await for all I/O operations
        2. Event-driven architecture using EventBus
        3. Comprehensive error handling with custom exceptions
        4. Plugin-compatible design with hook registration
        5. Configuration via dependency injection
        6. Extensive logging for debugging
        7. Type hints for all function signatures
        8. Docstrings following Google style
        
        Component Structure:
        - Initialize with dependencies and config
        - Implement async initialize() method
        - Register event handlers with EventBus
        - Provide get_status_line() for terminal display
        - Include graceful shutdown() method
        
        Testing Requirements:
        - Unit tests with >90% coverage
        - Mock external dependencies
        - Test error conditions and edge cases
        - Performance benchmarks where applicable
        """
    
    @staticmethod
    def generate_refactoring_prompt(code_snippet: str, issues: list) -> str:
        """Generate code refactoring prompt"""
        return f"""
        Refactor this code to address the identified issues:
        
        Current Code:
        {code_snippet}
        
        Issues to Address:
        {issues}
        
        Apply these Chat App patterns:
        1. Single Responsibility Principle
        2. Dependency Injection pattern
        3. Async context management
        4. Event-driven communication
        5. Comprehensive error handling
        6. Performance optimization
        7. Memory efficiency
        8. Thread safety where applicable
        
        Maintain backward compatibility and existing API contracts.
        Include migration guide if breaking changes are necessary.
        """
    
    @staticmethod
    def generate_testing_prompt(component: str, functionality: dict) -> str:
        """Generate comprehensive test suite prompt"""
        return f"""
        Generate comprehensive test suite for:
        
        Component: {component}
        Functionality: {functionality}
        
        Test Categories Required:
        1. Unit Tests:
           - Happy path scenarios
           - Edge cases and boundary conditions
           - Error conditions and exception handling
           - Mock integration points
           
        2. Integration Tests:
           - Component interaction testing
           - Event bus integration
           - Configuration validation
           - Plugin compatibility
           
        3. Performance Tests:
           - Response time benchmarks
           - Memory usage validation
           - Concurrency stress testing
           - Resource cleanup verification
           
        Use Python unittest framework with async test support.
        Include test fixtures and data builders.
        Ensure tests are deterministic and fast.
