The fastest way to learn good prompting is to read good prompts. Each example below is a complete, copyable starting prompt for a different kind of app, with a note on why it works. Copy the one closest to your idea, swap in your own details, and send it.
These are first prompts — they describe a focused core. After your app builds, refine it with follow-ups. See Iterating on Your App.

SaaS Dashboard

Why it works: it names every screen, the exact metrics and table columns, the auth model, and a clear visual direction — so the agent isn’t guessing at structure or style.

Marketplace

Why it works: it defines both sides of the market, the listing data model, the core browse-and-buy flow, and the payment method — the essentials of a marketplace without over-scoping.

Booking App

Why it works: it separates the customer flow from the owner flow, specifies what data a service and a booking carry, and keeps the first version to one location — easy to extend later.

Internal Tool

Why it works: it states the audience and the “dense and functional” intent up front, enumerates every field and its allowed values, and names two views (table and board) so the agent plans for both.

Landing Page

Why it works: it lists the page sections in order, gives a precise visual direction, defines the one interaction, and explicitly says no backend — so the agent builds a focused static page.

Portfolio Site

Why it works: it names every page, the gallery’s filter categories, and the visual priority (“centerpiece”), giving the agent a clear hierarchy to build around.

Productivity App

Why it works: it covers the task data model, two clearly-defined views, the core complete-a-task interaction, and a usability goal (“fast and keyboard-friendly”) that shapes the layout.

Slide-Deck App

Why it works: Fabricate can build slide-deck apps as well as web apps. This prompt lists every slide in order, gives a consistent visual direction, and sets a “headline plus a few points” rule so slides stay clean.

Adapting These Prompts

To reshape any example for your idea:
1

Swap the domain

Replace the subject — “hair salon” becomes “dentist,” “handmade furniture” becomes “vintage cameras.” The structure carries over.
2

Adjust the data fields

Change the listed fields to match what your users actually create and view.
3

Set your own visual direction

Replace the theme and accent color, or attach a reference image instead.
4

Trim to your true core

If a section isn’t essential to the first build, cut it and add it as a follow-up later.
Not sure which features belong in the first build? Paste your draft prompt into Discuss Mode and ask, “What’s the smallest version of this worth building first?” It’s free.
