Building

Prompting that works

Write prompts that Agent can actually build: concrete outcomes, real content, and small loops.

Last updated August 12, 2026

Be specific about the product

Include the audience, the job to be done, the pages you need, and any brand constraints (colors, tone, must-have sections). If you have real copy, paste it. Placeholder Latin and “lorem” waste a turn.

Build in loops

Get a solid first version, then change one area at a time: navigation, then the hero, then the dashboard table. Huge all-at-once rewrites are harder to verify and easier to regress.

Show, don’t only tell

Attach a screenshot of a site you like, a logo, or a photo of the space. Visual references beat a paragraph of adjectives.
