Comprehensive best practices for writing reliable, maintainable Pulumi infrastructure code.
Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs
Example: Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios
Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage
Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps
Example: Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities
Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days
Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs
Example: Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale
Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster
Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations
Example: Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement
Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead

Avoid creating resources inside apply() callbacks; pass Output objects directly as inputs to preserve dependency tracking and preview visibility
Use ComponentResource classes to group related resources into reusable logical units with proper parent-child hierarchy via parent: this
Encrypt secrets from the start with --secret flag or config.requireSecret() to prevent credential leakage in state
