Sample prompts for the eight use cases

Read [the project folder / these documents / these links] first. Then write me a progress report on [PROJECT] as one self-contained HTML page, saved in my Showspace. Cover what shipped, what is stuck, and what decisions you need from me. Use the colors and typefaces from the brand guide in my Showspace, and keep each section to one screen so I can read it without hunting. Before you write anything, ask me what you need to know — who it’s for, how much detail, and what period it covers. I’ll read it in lite.computer and leave comments; next session, read my comments and revise the same page.

Build me a dashboard as one HTML page in my Showspace, with changing figures in a small data file beside it. Show [THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER] from [WHERE THEY LIVE — a spreadsheet, a CSV, an API you can read]. Make the big figures readable from across a room, use my brand colors, and show both the source time and last successful refresh. Keep the last good figures and mark them as old if an update fails. [OPTIONAL: Add a short, dated AI briefing.] Follow the lite.computer guide for pages that stay current. Tell me where the update job runs and what access it needs, and ask before installing anything on my Mac. Before you build, ask which numbers matter most, how often they change, and exactly where you can read them from. Verify the first unattended run.

Read [our logo files, our existing documents, our website] and write our brand guide as one self-contained HTML page in my Showspace. Show the palette as real swatches with hex values, set each typeface in itself, and write the rules plainly enough that another AI could follow them without asking me anything. Where we don’t have a rule yet, propose one and mark it as a proposal. Before you start, ask me what we already have, what we’re unsure about, and what tone we want.

Read [my brief / my notes] first. Then look at [two or three sites I admire] and tell me what you’d borrow from each for layout and pacing. Draft [SITE] as separate self-contained HTML pages in one folder in my Showspace — one page per screen, linked with relative links so I can click through the whole thing. Real copy, not placeholder text, in my brand colors and typefaces. Before you draft, ask me what you still need: the audience, the one thing each page must do, and what we’re selling.

I’m presenting [SUBJECT] to [AUDIENCE] for [DURATION]. Read [my materials] first. Then find three presentations or websites online whose design you’d draw on, and tell me why. Build the deck as one self-contained HTML page in my Showspace, one full-screen section per point, sized to read from the back of a room, in my brand colors. It will be shown on [WHICH SCREEN — landscape or portrait, and its shape: a 16:9 wall panel, an ultrawide, a laptop], so lay every section out to fill that shape with nothing cut off. Add transitions and a small animation where it sharpens a point, not everywhere. Keep my speaker notes in a separate page beside it. Before you build, ask me what the one takeaway is, what I want people to do afterwards, and anything you’re unsure of.

Read [my research / notes / sources] and write [SUBJECT] as a set of self-contained HTML pages in one folder in my Showspace — one chapter per page, each linking to the next and back to a contents page. Lay it out to be read for an hour, not skimmed: one column, generous margins, no sidebars, my brand typefaces. Wherever a diagram or infographic would explain something faster than a paragraph, make one. Before you write, ask me who the reader is, how long it should be, and what I already know, so you don’t explain it back to me.

Read [the CSV / spreadsheet / export] at [path]. Build me one self-contained HTML page in my Showspace holding every record on it — a row each, with the two or three figures I care about most called out as summary tiles across the top. Lead each row with the name and what it is worth, then the supporting detail. Sort largest first. Use the colors and typefaces from the brand guide in my Showspace, give every row a small color-coded status tag, and make the table collapse into readable cards on a phone rather than scrolling sideways. Keep the page self-contained: styles inline, any images embedded, no external files. Before you write it, tell me how many records there are and show me one finished row so I can check the layout. When I send you an updated export, rebuild the same page rather than making a new one. Once the layout is settled, write me a small script that reads the file and regenerates the page, so I can run it on a schedule and stop asking you.

Make a full-screen display page for [WHAT IT SHOWS — a room’s schedule, today’s specials, a welcome board] as one self-contained HTML file in my Showspace. It will run on [WHICH SCREEN — give the size in inches, whether it hangs landscape or portrait, and the pixel dimensions if you know them]. Fill that shape exactly: no scrolling, nothing to click, nothing cut off at the edges. Read from across a room: high contrast, large type, in my brand colors. Have it keep itself alive — a clock, a countdown, live numbers from [SOURCE], or rotate between things on a timer. Look at [signs I like] for the feel. Before you build, ask me the exact shape and resolution of the screen, what must be on it, and what changes and how often.
