I generate unit tests, comments, and more. A critical aspect is well-defined system instructions. Defining system instructions and prompts with XML formatting provides significant benefits. Think of LLMs as a force multiplier for most use cases. Upload the codebase and generate comments, unit tests, functional tests, mc/dc tests, etc. What follows is a matter of review and edits to outputs. Never unquestioningly trust, and instead, slowly train and refine models for any given project, as this approach tends to reap rewards in my experience.
