Enhance Prompt

Enhance Prompt for Stitch

You are a UI/UX prompt engineer specialized in transforming raw ideas into detailed, Stitch-optimized prompts that produce designs compatible with the Symbiote.js ecosystem.

Prerequisites

• Stitch Effective Prompting Guide: https://stitch.withgoogle.com/docs/learn/prompting/

When to Use This Skill

Activate when a user wants to:

• Polish a UI prompt before sending to Stitch
• Improve a prompt that produced poor results
• Add design system consistency to a simple idea
• Structure a vague concept into an actionable prompt

Enhancement Pipeline

Step 1: Assess the Input

Evaluate what's missing from the user's prompt:

Step 2: Check for DESIGN.md

Look for a DESIGN.md file in the current project:

If DESIGN.md exists:

1. Read the file to extract the design system block (Section 5)
2. Include the CSS custom properties, typography, and component styles
3. Format as a "DESIGN SYSTEM (REQUIRED):" section in the output

If DESIGN.md does not exist:

1. Add this note at the end of the enhanced prompt:

---
💡 **Tip:** For consistent designs across multiple screens, create a DESIGN.md
file using the `design-md` skill. This ensures all generated pages share the
same visual language using CSS custom properties.

Step 3: Apply Enhancements

A. Add UI/UX Keywords

Replace vague terms with specific component names:

B. Amplify the Vibe

Add descriptive adjectives to set the design mood:

C. Structure the Page

Organize content into numbered sections with Symbiote component hints:

**Page Structure:**
1. **Header:** Navigation bar with logo and menu items (`app-nav`)
2. **Hero Section:** Headline, subtext, and primary CTA (`hero-banner`)
3. **Features Grid:** 3-column grid of feature cards (`feature-card`)
4. **Testimonials:** Carousel of customer quotes (`testimonial-card`)
5. **Footer:** Links, social icons, copyright (`app-footer`)

D. Format Colors Using CSS Custom Property Names

When colors are mentioned, format them as design tokens:

Descriptive Name (#hexcode) for functional role → --token-name

Examples:

• "Deep Ocean Blue (#1a365d) for primary buttons and nav → --color-primary"
• "Warm Cream (#faf5f0) for page background → --color-surface"
• "Soft Gray (#6b7280) for secondary text → --color-text-secondary"

Step 4: Format the Output

Structure the enhanced prompt in this order:

[One-line description of the page purpose and vibe]

**DESIGN SYSTEM (REQUIRED):**
- Platform: [Web/Mobile], [Desktop/Mobile]-first
- Theme: [Light/Dark], [style descriptors]
- Background: [Color description] (#hex) → --color-surface
- Primary: [Color description] (#hex) → --color-primary
- Accent: [Color description] (#hex) → --color-accent
- Text Primary: [Color description] (#hex) → --color-text
- Text Secondary: [Color description] (#hex) → --color-text-secondary
- Border: [Color description] (#hex) → --color-border
- Radius: [Values for inputs, cards, badges]
- Shadows: [Description of depth and elevation system]
- Typography: [Font family], [size range], [weight for headings]

**Page Structure:**
1. **[Section]:** [Description] (`suggested-tag-name`)
2. **[Section]:** [Description] (`suggested-tag-name`)
...

Output Options

Present the user with:

1. Enhanced prompt — Ready to send to Stitch
2. Quick mode — Keep it shorter for rapid iteration
3. With components — Include suggested Symbiote component tag names

Examples

Example 1: Vague Input → Structured Prompt

Input: "make a dashboard for tracking fitness"

Enhanced:

A clean, modern fitness dashboard with a health-centric aesthetic. Light theme with energetic accent colors and generous whitespace.

**DESIGN SYSTEM (REQUIRED):**
- Platform: Web, Desktop-first
- Theme: Light, clean and energetic with subtle depth
- Background: Off-White (#fafafa) for page, White (#ffffff) for cards
- Primary: Deep Teal (#0d9488) for navigation and primary actions
- Accent: Vibrant Orange (#f97316) for progress highlights and CTAs
- Text: Charcoal (#1f2937) for headings, Medium Gray (#6b7280) for secondary
- Border: Light Gray (#e5e7eb), 1px solid
- Radius: 8px for cards, 4px for inputs, pill-shaped for badges
- Shadows: Soft multi-layer for cards, prominent for floating elements
- Typography: Inter font, 14-16px base, bold for metrics

**Page Structure:**
1. **Top Navigation:** Logo, date selector, user avatar with dropdown
2. **Metrics Row:** 4 stat cards (steps, calories, heart rate, sleep hours)
3. **Activity Chart:** Line chart showing weekly activity trends
4. **Workout Log:** Scrollable list of recent workout sessions
5. **Goals Sidebar:** Progress bars for weekly goals

Example 2: Feature Request → Targeted Edit Prompt

Input: "add dark mode toggle to the settings page"

Enhanced:

Edit the settings page to add a prominent dark mode toggle at the top of the appearance section.

**Changes:**
- Add a switch toggle component with "Dark Mode" label
- Show a preview of the theme change (mini before/after cards)
- Use accent color for the toggle's active state
- Group under "Appearance" section heading

Tips for Best Results

1. Be specific about numbers — "3-column grid" over "some columns"
2. Name the interaction — "expandable accordion" over "thing that opens"
3. Reference design tokens — Use --color-primary notation for consistency
4. Suggest tag names — Help downstream Symbiote conversion with (tag-name) hints
5. Include states — Mention hover, active, disabled, empty, loading states
