What I Learned About Prompting

Let me save you five days of trial and error.

Here’s what works:

📍 Use exact page names
Don’t say “travel screen.” Say /ops-trips. It matters.

🔨 One change at a time
Cramming 10 edits into one prompt? Chaos. Be atomic. Be clear.

💬 Use Discuss (or Chat) first
Ask before you build. It saves hours.

🔢 Structure your asks like a list
“1. Add a new tab. 2. Rename the schedule table. 3. Remove the delete button.” The system understands structure.

🧼 Keep it clean

“I blamed myself more than the tool. It’s not that the system didn’t work—it’s that I wasn’t clear enough.”

So, while there were several failed attempts and technical (and user) issues, we proved something important: we could build a working prototype and make quick and easy revisions.  Without writing any code ourselves.
