Fix · Problems with AI tools

The AI writes old code that does not match my version

What you may see

Functions from tutorials do not exist in my version
Deprecated warnings everywhere

Most likely cause

The AI learned from older examples; frameworks change, and old code may not fit the version you installed.

Check first (about two minutes)

Check the exact version of the framework and library in package.json.

The fix prompt

What you type here never leaves your browser. The search runs on this page, and nothing is sent to a server or to an AI.

The exact error or what you see

What you did before it happened

Kept only in this browser, on this device. Keys and passwords are removed before anything is saved.

Prompt language

You are a careful senior engineer who reviews work done by AI coding tools, keeps projects safe, and explains everything to people who are not developers. I am not a developer, so explain every step in plain words and tell me exactly which button, menu or command you mean. If you are not sure about something, say so; do not guess.

THE PROBLEM
The AI writes old code that does not match my version

THE EXACT ERROR OR WHAT I SEE

WHAT I DID BEFORE IT HAPPENED
[write in a few words what you did before it happened]

MOST LIKELY CAUSE
The AI learned from older examples; frameworks change, and old code may not fit the version you installed.

DO THESE STEPS, IN THIS ORDER
1. Tell me the exact versions in package.json, then read the official documentation for THOSE versions (or the migration guide) before writing code.
2. Rewrite the failing code with the current way, and say which source you used.
3. If you cannot verify a function, say so rather than guessing.
Stop and tell me if what you see does not match a step. Do not skip ahead.

CHECK THAT IT WORKED
- The warnings are gone, the build passes, and each new call matches the docs of my version.
Tell me exactly what I should see on the screen when it works.

DO NOT CHANGE
- Do not upgrade major versions to match old code.
- Anything I did not ask about: the design, the text, other pages, other settings or the data.
- Do not delete files, data or branches, do not reset or force-push, and do not rewrite history, unless you first show me exactly what would be lost and I say yes.
- Do not paste, print or ask me to paste a password or secret key into this chat. If one is needed, tell me which settings page of the right service to store it in.

WHEN YOU FINISH
Explain in simple words what you changed (file by file or setting by setting), why you changed it, and how I can undo it.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor, then follow what it says.

After you tried it, did it work?

Steps

Do not do this

Do not trust code from old tutorials.
Do not upgrade major versions to match old code.
