Like many of you, I spend way too long writing prompts for Claude Code / Cursor. "You are an expert...use that stack...handle edge cases...here's the structure..."

So I automated that part.

1ShotGen takes whatever you type - "a pomodoro timer with pixel tomatoes" or a full-page spec — and returns a single, surgical prompt ready to paste into your coding agent of choice. It picks the tech stack, generates the file list, and includes a definition of done.
