Free Frontend Eng Prompts for ChatGPT

A focused, hand-built library of frontend engineering prompts for product users. Each one is structured for an LLM - role, task, constraints, output - so you can paste it into ChatGPT or Claude and get a usable UI plan on the first try. Use them as written, or treat them as starting points to fork for your own playbook.

Senior-grade UI plan

Produce a senior-level UI plan ready to ship.

View full prompt
Act as a senior frontend engineer with 10+ years specializing in frontend engineering for product users. I will give you the brief; you will deliver a ship-ready UI plan.

Brief: [PASTE BRIEF HERE].
Constraints: must be specific, measurable, and grounded in frontend engineering best practice. Avoid generic advice and obvious tips.

Deliver:
1. The full UI plan (the actual artifact, not a description of it).
2. Three sharpening notes - what you would test or improve first.
3. One contrarian angle most frontend engineers miss.

Ask one clarifying question only if a hard blocker remains; otherwise proceed with stated assumptions. Use plain language, no fluff, no filler. Quote evidence when citing sources.

Return:
- 5 specific weaknesses, each tied to UX and performance.
- A rewritten UI plan that fixes them.
