    Quick Summary Answer

    Structure prompts with 5 parts: Role, Viewport, Purpose, Theme, and Component List with Auto Layout rules.

    Vague prompts like "make a dashboard" yield generic, unusable templates. Specific, structured prompts generate production-ready UI.

    Follow our 5-part prompt structure:

    1. Viewport & Device: Specify desktop (1440px) or mobile screen (390px).
    2. Domain / Use Case: E.g., B2B SaaS analytics, health tracker, or e-commerce checkout.
    3. Theme & Style: Dark slate theme, 8px corner radius, minimalist clean hierarchy.
    4. Component List: Explicitly name required elements (sidebar nav, 4 stat cards, transaction table).
    5. Layout Rules: Command strict Auto Layout horizontal/vertical flex rules.

    Generate structured prompts automatically on our free Figma Make Prompt Builder.
