Prompt objective
Create a high-fidelity Figma prototype that simulates the actual product experience, enabling accurate usability testing and compelling stakeholder demonstrations.
Real use case
ShopExpress, an e-commerce platform from São Paulo, is prototyping a new single-page checkout to replace the current 5-step flow. The prototype needs to simulate postal code input with shipping calculation, discount coupon with visual feedback, and 3 different payment methods in Figma.

Replace the placeholders with your own context before you run the prompt. That usually improves the first output more than adding more instructions later.
Prompt
Specify a high-fidelity interactive prototype in Figma for [FEATURE NAME] of [PRODUCT NAME]. Flow: [COMPLETE FLOW DESCRIPTION]. Number of screens: [NUMBER]. **1) Interaction Map:** For each screen, list: - Clickable/tappable elements (buttons, links, cards, tabs) - Destination of each interaction (which screen or overlay) - Transition type (push, dissolve, smart animate, overlay) - Duration and easing **2) Interactive Components (using Figma Variants):** For each interactive component: - States: default, hover, focused, filled, error, disabled, loading - Properties: variant name, boolean (show/hide icon), text override - Examples: postal code input (empty -> typing -> loading -> success with address) **3) Conditional Flows:** - Decisions based on user input (e.g., payment type selected) - How to simulate conditional logic in Figma (variables + conditionals) - Branches: at least [NUMBER] different paths **4) Micro-interactions in the Prototype:** - Loading spinner when submitting form - Success/error toast notification - Order details accordion - Checkout progress bar - Coupon applied animation **5) Realistic Data:** - Content mock: real names, values, addresses - Real product images (not placeholders) - Monetary values in appropriate format - Natural error messages in the target language **6) Responsiveness in the Prototype:** - Mobile version (375px) and desktop version (1440px) - How to manage both prototypes in the same file - Shared vs. breakpoint-specific components **7) Handoff for Testing:** - Prototype link with optimal settings (hotspots, device frame) - Moderator test script - Metrics to capture during testing - Success criteria per task Design system framework: [DS NAME OR 'none']. Tool: Figma with [AUTO LAYOUT/VARIABLES/CONDITIONAL LOGIC].

How to use this prompt
- 1Replace the key placeholders first: FEATURE NAME, PRODUCT NAME, COMPLETE FLOW DESCRIPTION, NUMBER.
- 2Replace any bracketed placeholders like [this] with your own context.
- 3Add extra background information when you want more tailored results.
- 4Combine multiple prompts in one conversation when you need a richer output.
- 5Save your best-performing prompts so they are easy to reuse later.
