Reusable prompt files for AI Coding Assistants

Some AI Coding Assistants support reusable prompt files that you can commit to your repository. These allow you to invoke standard prompts directly from your tool without copying and pasting.

For examples of reusable prompt files — including architectural decision records, test generation and security reviews — see the Defra AI SDLC Tool Guidance site.
