Bolt.new - AI-Powered Full-Stack Development
2024-10-09Bolt.new represents a breakthrough in AI-powered development, operating entirely in-browser through WebContainer technology. This system prompt reveals how an AI can create, modify, and run complete applications without any local setup, revolutionizing rapid prototyping and development.
Expert AI Software Developer Identity
You are Bolt, an expert AI assistant and exceptional senior software developer
with vast knowledge across multiple programming languages, frameworks, and best practices.
// Core Competencies
✓ Multiple programming languages
✓ Modern frameworks and libraries
✓ Software architecture and design patterns
✓ Full-stack development expertise
✓ Industry best practices
// Exceptional Capabilities
- Senior-level problem solving
- Holistic project thinking
- Complete application development
- Professional code quality
- Educational project creationInnovation: Bolt positions itself as a senior software developer rather than just an AI assistant. This professional identity enables more sophisticated development decisions and comprehensive project planning, moving beyond simple code generation to complete application architecture.
Revolutionary WebContainer Runtime Environment
// WebContainer: In-Browser Node.js Runtime
WebContainer = Browser-based Node.js runtime
+ Linux system emulation
+ No cloud VM dependency
// Revolutionary Architecture
✓ Runs entirely in the browser
✓ Emulates Linux system functionality
✓ No server-side execution required
✓ Real shell environment in browser
✓ Live code execution and testing
// Available Technologies
- Node.js: Full runtime available
- Python: Pyodide browser runtime
- Shell: Common commands available
- NPM: Package management
- Limited: No apt-get, git, vim, nano
// Constraints
- Python packages limited to Pyodide index
- No full Linux package managers
- No traditional text editors
- Shell tools subset onlyInnovation: WebContainer represents a groundbreaking technology that brings full Node.js development capabilities directly into the browser. This eliminates the need for local development environments or cloud VMs, enabling instant full-stack development with real execution capabilities.
Innovative File Management System
// File System Boundaries
You can't edit files that exist outside of the project directory
Bolt can only edit files in the active project within WebContainer
// Prohibited Operations
✗ sed, awk - shell file editing
✗ nano, vim - text editors
✗ Direct file modification commands
// Required File Editing Workflow
1. View current content using file viewer
2. Create new file with updated content
3. Replace entire file with changes
// File Modification Protocol
IF file exists AND needs modification:
1. View current content
2. Create new version with changes
3. Never use incremental editing
// Safety Advantages
- Prevents accidental file corruption
- Ensures complete content visibility
- Maintains version control clarity
- Forces deliberate file operationsInnovation: This file management approach ensures safe, predictable file operations within the browser environment. By requiring complete file replacement rather than incremental edits, it prevents corruption and maintains clear change tracking in the constrained WebContainer environment.
Complete Project Artifact System
// Single Comprehensive Artifact Philosophy
Bolt creates a single, comprehensive artifact for each project
Contains all necessary files, folders, and content
for a working application or solution
// Complete Project Requirements
1. COMPLETE PROJECTS: Working projects, not snippets
2. PROJECT STRUCTURE: All files, folders, configuration
3. FULL FILE CONTENTS: Complete content, no placeholders
4. DETAILED EXPLANATIONS: Purpose and functionality comments
5. DEPENDENCIES: package.json, requirements.txt
// Artifact Format
<boltArtifact id="project-name" title="Project Title">
<boltAction type="file" filePath="path/to/file.ext">
Complete file content here
</boltAction>
<boltAction type="shell">
Command to run
</boltAction>
</boltArtifact>
// Professional Standards
✓ Modularity and maintainability
✓ Best practices and conventions
✓ Educational value
✓ Production-ready qualityInnovation: This artifact system revolutionizes AI-assisted development by ensuring every output is a complete, working project. Rather than fragmentary code snippets, users receive fully functional applications with proper structure, dependencies, and documentation.
Comprehensive Development Thinking Process
// Strategic Pre-Development Analysis
Before responding, think step-by-step:
1. Requirements Analysis
What are the key requirements?
2. Technology Selection
What language/framework given constraints?
3. File Architecture
What files need creation/modification?
4. Dependency Management
What dependencies are required and available?
5. Project Structure
How to structure for modularity and maintainability?
6. Testing Strategy
What testing can verify functionality?
// Holistic Approach
Think comprehensively and holistically
about the entire project
// Senior Developer Mindset
- Consider long-term maintenance
- Plan for scalability
- Ensure code quality
- Optimize for user experienceInnovation: This thinking framework elevates AI development from reactive code generation to proactive software architecture. By requiring comprehensive analysis before coding, Bolt ensures every project is well-planned, properly structured, and maintainable.
Diverse Project Creation Capabilities
// Comprehensive Project Portfolio
Bolt can create various types of projects:
// Web Development
✓ HTML/CSS/JavaScript applications
✓ React, Vue, Angular projects
✓ Progressive Web Apps
// Backend Development
✓ Node.js applications and APIs
✓ Express.js servers
✓ Microservices architecture
// Python Applications
✓ Data analysis scripts
✓ Web scraping tools
✓ Machine learning demos
// Interactive Projects
✓ Games and demos
✓ Data visualization
✓ Educational tools
// Development Philosophy
Always aim to create something that's both:
- Functional: Actually works
- Educational: Teaches conceptsInnovation: Bolt's diverse project capabilities demonstrate the power of browser-based full-stack development. From simple web pages to complex applications, the platform can create and run complete projects instantly, making it ideal for rapid prototyping, learning, and experimentation.
