First prompt for a Figma Make prototype

Brief Make on the task, who it is for, the constraints, and what done looks like.

Prompt

Build the first version of this screen in Figma Make.

Task: [what the screen is for]
Who it's for: [role, and what they are trying to do]
Platform: [desktop or mobile, and the width]
Key elements: [the parts that must be on the screen]
Expected behaviors: [what happens when someone uses it]
Constraints: [style, components to reuse, accessibility, what not to add]
Done looks like: [the state you can click through and call v1]

Do not invent extra features, sample accounts, or sections I did not list.
Use realistic placeholder copy.
If the screen can fail or have no data, include empty, loading, and error states.

How to use

  1. 01

    Fill every bracket before you send it. A blank "who it's for" is how Make invents a second product.

  2. 02

    Name one screen. Ask for the next screen in a follow-up.

  3. 03

    Attach a frame or guidelines file if you have one, instead of describing the whole system here.

Tips

  • A complete first prompt costs fewer correction prompts later. Every prompt spends AI credits.
