Templates that help you build faster.

Copy, paste, ship. These are the prompts and checklists we use inside the academy.

Prompt library

Eight paste-ready prompts.

Each one works in Claude, GPT-5, Kimi, Gemini, Hermes, or whatever model your builder uses under the hood.

PRD Starter Prompt

Paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any model. Fill the brackets. Ship the output to your AI builder.

prd.txt
I'm starting a small web app. Please write a short, beginner-friendly PRD I can paste into Lovable, Base44, or Replit.

Product name: [Name]
One-line goal: [What it does in 1 sentence]
Audience: [Who it helps]
Top 3 user jobs: [Job 1], [Job 2], [Job 3]
Must-have features (v1): [3–6 bullets]
Nice-to-have (later): [2–4 bullets]
Success in 2 weeks looks like: [e.g., 1 working screen + 3 users test it]
Tone/constraints: keep it non-technical, short sections, action steps, no jargon.

Include these sections exactly:
1) Problem & Outcome
2) Users & Jobs-to-be-Done
3) Scope (v1 vs later)
4) User Flows
5) Screens
6) Data
7) Non-Goals
8) Risks & Assumptions
9) Success Metrics
10) Next 5 Actions

Keep the first version simple. Propose one simple first screen with clear buttons and inputs.

App Idea Prompt

Turn a vague idea into one tight sentence you can actually build from.

idea.txt
Help me rewrite my app idea as one sentence using this template:
"My app helps [audience] do [useful task] so they can [better outcome]."

Then suggest 3 ways to make it sharper, and ask 3 clarifying questions if anything is still vague.

My rough idea: [paste your idea here]

Demo Post Template

What to write when you post your first screenshot in the community.

demo.txt
Demo post — [App name]

1) One-sentence pitch: My app helps [audience] do [task] so they can [outcome].
2) [Attach 1 screenshot of the most important screen]
3) Feedback I want: [specific question — e.g. does the empty state make the next action obvious?]
4) Out of scope right now: [things you don't want feedback on yet]

Feedback Request Template

Specific questions get useful answers. Generic ones don't.

feedback.txt
Hey — I'd love quick feedback on [specific part of my app].

Context: [1 sentence — what it is, who it's for]
What I'm testing: [the one thing you actually want feedback on]
Constraints: [what you can't or won't change right now]
Timebox: [e.g. 2-minute reaction, not a full review]

If you only have 60 seconds, the single most useful thing you could tell me is: [your best guess at what would help].

Windsurf / Cursor Edit Prompt

How to describe a change in an agentic IDE without breaking the project.

edit.txt
Just change [one specific thing] in [file or component name].

Constraints:
- Don't touch anything else on this screen.
- Keep existing components, layout, and design tokens.
- Don't introduce new dependencies.
- If you have to refactor more than 1 file, stop and ask first.

Acceptance: [what 'done' looks like in 1 sentence].

Model Picker Prompt

Ask a model which model + builder you should use for what you're doing.

model-picker.txt
Given this app and this stage, recommend a builder and a model. Explain each in 2 sentences. Then suggest 1 backup option.

App: [one sentence]
Stage: [idea / first screen / iterating / launching]
My comfort with code: [none / a little / comfortable]
Budget sensitivity: [low / medium / high]
Need self-hosting? [yes / no]

Consider these options:
- Builders: Lovable, Base44, Replit, Windsurf, Cursor, Bolt.new, v0
- Models: Claude Opus 4.5, Claude Sonnet 4.5, GPT-5, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Kimi K2.5, Hermes 4, Grok Code, DeepSeek V3

Ethical Builder Checklist Prompt

Privacy, consent, and responsible defaults before you ship.

ethical.txt
Review my v1 app spec against an ethical-builder checklist. For each item, mark PASS / FAIL / N/A and suggest a fix in 1 line if it fails.

Checklist:
- Doesn't collect more user data than it needs
- Asks for consent before collecting personal info
- Doesn't expose API keys or secrets
- Doesn't impersonate a real person or brand
- Has a clear "what happens to my data" answer
- Doesn't enable spam, scraping, or unauthorized access
- Has a way for users to delete their data
- Discloses that AI helped build it (where appropriate)

My app spec: [paste your PRD or summary]

Launch Checklist Prompt

The 8 things to check before sharing v1 publicly.

launch.txt
Walk me through a v1 launch readiness check for my app. For each of the 8 items below, ask me a yes/no question. Stop after each one and wait for my answer.

1) Does the first screen load without errors?
2) Is the primary action obvious within 5 seconds?
3) Are error states handled (empty, loading, failure)?
4) Have you tested on mobile width?
5) Is there at least one happy path that works end-to-end?
6) Have 2 real people tried it?
7) Do you have a 1-sentence pitch ready?
8) Do you know what feedback you actually want?

App: [one sentence about your app]
