Prompt objective
Create a layout system based on a responsive grid that organizes dense dashboard information clearly, prioritizing data hierarchy and optimal information density for each screen size.
Real use case
A trade marketing company needs to redesign their promoter management dashboard that displays KPIs, heat maps, tables with 500+ rows, and 12 different charts, but currently breaks completely on tablets used in the field.
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.

Users access via: [DEVICES AND USAGE PROPORTIONS]. **1) Grid System:** - Number of columns per breakpoint (mobile/tablet/desktop/wide) - Gutter and margin per breakpoint - Container max-width - Span rules for each component type **2) Layout Patterns:** - Sidebar navigation: fixed, collapsible, or off-canvas by breakpoint - Header: sticky with global filters - Content area: card grid with prioritization - For each pattern, descriptive wireframe (ASCII or detailed description) **3) Responsive Components:** - KPI cards: horizontal layout (desktop) vs. stacked (mobile) - Tables: horizontal scroll, priority columns, card-list mode on mobile - Charts: aspect ratio, minimum readable size, tabular alternative on mobile - Filters: horizontal bar (desktop) vs. bottom sheet (mobile) **4) Prioritization Rules:** - Information hierarchy: what appears above the fold per breakpoint - Components that collapse or hide on smaller screens - Mobile reading order (grid reordering) **5) Technical Specifications:** - CSS Grid template areas per breakpoint - Suggested Tailwind classes (if applicable) - System values for gap, padding, border-radius Consider that [PERCENTAGE]% of users access via [PRIMARY DEVICE] and the most critical information is [KEY DATA POINT].
