Best Practices

Writing Effective Task Descriptions

When creating tasks through Raycast, provide clear and actionable descriptions: Good Examples:
  • “Fix memory leak in background job processor at workers/job-processor.ts”
  • “Add email validation to user registration form using RFC 5322 standard”
  • “Refactor authentication middleware to use async/await patterns”
Less Effective:
  • “Fix the bug”
  • “Improve performance”
  • “Update the code”
See the Prompting Guide for more tips on writing effective task descriptions.
