💁‍♂️ Do we need prompts?

We added a few prompts to get things started (#153). But not understanding the value of adding prompts to this MCP Server when you can customize your own per repo. Giving you much more flexibility.

Do we think we should add some specific prompts to this MCP Server? Is so, what prompts would be of value to you? Would it better to add some reusable prompt files instead as examples to add your own?

This is still new to me, but I looked at the commit and adding prompts does not seem so straightforward. It seems like in order to create a prompt, I need to know what tools exist and what parameters are needed for each tool.

Is there not enough information for the agent to figure out what tools are needed without needing to create specific prompts for everything?
