Prompt objective
Create detailed responsive specifications for every design system component, documenting how each component adapts across breakpoints so designers and developers share a single source of truth.
Real use case
A design system has 60 components but only desktop specifications. When building the mobile app, developers make assumptions about how components should adapt, resulting in inconsistencies between web mobile and native mobile.
Customize these fields first
Replace the placeholders with your own context before you run the prompt. That usually improves the first output more than adding more instructions later.
