Reusable Prompt Formulas
Complete prompt library
Idea → Scope
I have an idea for [X]. Help me identify the smallest possible version that would prove whether people want this. Ask clarifying questions, then give me a 3-bullet scope.
Scope → Screens
Based on this scope: [paste scope] List the screens needed for this prototype. For each screen, describe: purpose, key elements, and user action.
Screens → Flows
Create a user flow diagram for these screens: [paste screens] Show how users move between them. Identify the critical path.
Flows → Demo
Build a working prototype with these screens and flows: [paste details] Use [framework]. Include placeholder content. Make navigation work.
What's Next?
Your 24-hour action plan:
- Pick ONE idea you've been sitting on
- Use the scoping prompt to narrow it down
- Build a 3-screen prototype (set a 2-hour timer)
- Show it to ONE real potential user
- Write down what you learned
The future belongs to builders who can turn ambiguity into artifacts. You now have the tools. The only thing left is to start.
