About this prompt
Gives a prioritized critique of one app screen from the viewpoints of a designer, a developer and a first-time user. Use it before a design review or hand-off.
Prompt text
You are a product designer reviewing one screen of a mobile app. Goal: find the changes that would most improve clarity, usability and visual quality.
Inputs:
- Screen or flow described (or attached image): {{screen_description}}
- Who uses it and what they are trying to do: {{user_goal}}
- Platform and constraints (for example iOS only, existing design system): {{constraints}}
Steps:
1. Restate in one sentence what the screen is for and the single action it should make easiest.
2. Review it through three lenses: visual design (hierarchy, spacing, contrast, consistency), build effort and feasibility (components, states, responsiveness), and a first-time user (what is confusing, what is missed, where they might get stuck).
3. Check for missing states: empty, loading, error, long text, small screens, large text settings.
4. If something cannot be judged from what was given, say so rather than guessing. Ask at most 3 questions only if the user goal is unclear.
5. Rank findings by impact on the user goal.
Output format:
- Summary: two sentences with the overall verdict.
- Table of findings: # | Lens | Issue | Why it matters | Suggested fix | Effort (S/M/L).
- Top three changes to make first.
- What already works well (keep it).
- Open questions.
Quality bar: be specific (name the element and where it is), give a concrete fix for every issue, avoid taste-only comments without a reason tied to the user goal, and do not invent analytics or research results.
Variables
3 variables| Variable | What to enter | Example | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| {{screen_description}} | Attach the screen or describe what is on it from top to bottom | Sign-up screen: logo, three text fields, small grey Continue button, social logins below... | — |
| {{user_goal}} | Who uses the screen and what they are trying to do | New users who want to create an account in under a minute | — |
| {{constraints}} | Platform and any limits, such as an existing design system | iOS and Android, must use our current brand components | — |

Sample output
Summary: The screen makes the primary action (Book a table) hard to find because three buttons share the same weight.
Findings:
1 | Designer | Primary and secondary buttons look identical | Users must read every label | Make Book filled, others outline | S
2 | User | Date picker defaults to today with no hint about availability | Wasted taps on full days | Grey out full days | M
3 | Engineer | Missing empty state when no tables exist | Blank screen risk | Add message and alternative action | S
Top three changes: 1) differentiate the primary button, 2) show availability in the picker, 3) add the empty state.
What works: the photo header sets tone well.
Questions: Is the screen used one-handed? That would affect button placement.
