Writing great prompts

Good prompts are specific about who the app is for, what they do in it, the data it stores, and the feel you want.

A simple formula

[App type] for [audience] called [name].
Users can [main actions]. It stores [data].
Screens: [list]. Style: [adjectives, colors, references].

Examples

Weak: "make a todo app"

Strong: "A shared to-do app for couples called Duo. Both partners sign in and see the same lists (Groceries, Home, Weekend). Items have a due date and who's responsible. Show a 'done this week' counter. Playful, rounded, pastel colors."

Tips

• Start with the core flow, then add features one message at a time. Small steps give better results than one giant request.
• Name your data. "Save each order with items, total and status" tells builder77 exactly which collection and fields to create.
• Use Select for visual tweaks — it's more precise than describing where something is.
• Attach a screenshot of a design you like (drag it into the chat or paste it).
• Use Discuss mode to plan bigger changes before building them.
• Hit "Enhance prompt" on the dashboard to expand a rough idea into a detailed spec.
• If something breaks, the chat shows an error banner — click Fix with AI.
