Effective prompts
Good prompts produce better first drafts and spend fewer tokens.Be concrete
Weak: “Build me a startup.” Stronger: “Build a B2B landing page for an AI meeting notes product called OrbitNote. Include hero, social proof logos row, 3 features, pricing teaser (Free/Pro), FAQ, and email waitlist form that stores submissions.”Include the essentials
- Product name and one-sentence pitch
- Who it is for
- Pages / routes you need
- Data to store (if any)
- Visual direction (dark/light, minimal, playful) without over-specifying every pixel
- Must-have integrations (only if you already have keys)
Constraints help
- “Mobile-first”
- “No auth yet — marketing site only”
- “Attach the project database and store waitlist emails in Postgres”
- “Keep dependencies minimal”
One job per message (usually)
Large “do everything” prompts work for v0. After that, prefer sequential asks:- Fix navigation
- Then polish pricing
- Then wire the form
