Move a file — AI Prompts for Visual Studio Code

3 ready prompts

Written for the moment this actually comes up.

A file needs to live under utils now. Move userHelpers.js from src/services to src/utils, preserve its import paths, and update any imports across the workspace so nothing breaks. Check for failing references and report any files that need manual fixes before I push.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I just moved userHelpers.js to src/utils and now several modules fail to import it. I’m afraid I…

I dragged a file and imports are failing

I just moved userHelpers.js to src/utils and now several modules fail to import it. I’m afraid I broke the build for everyone. I don’t know if the editor updated relative paths or if I broke default versus named exports. Help me diagnose why imports are failing, how to revert or fix the paths quickly, and give the exact steps to update imports across the workspace safely.

I keep breaking imports when reorganizing files

Every refactor costs me time because I move files and forget to update imports, leading to CI failures. I want a habit or simple pre-move checklist to avoid this. Recommend one change to my workflow—what to check or run before moving files—and a quick post-move verification that prevents import breakage.

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
