SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Vague, freeform prompts produce inconsistent and generic UI outputs from AI generation tools. This Skill turns fuzzy design ideas into a tight, spec-driven prompt structure that yields repeatable, on-style results. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Prompt Skeleton: A copy-paste template covering goal, format, layout, typography, color, imagery, copy, constraints, and negative prompts. - Iteration Discipline: Rules for locking a design system first, then varying one variable at a time (angle, accent color, card arrangement, background tone). - Typography Safeguards: A two-pass workflow that generates without text and typesets in Figma when models misspell copy. - Use Case: You need a landing page hero for a SaaS product. Fill the skeleton with grid, font vibe, one accent color, and exact copy lines, then generate consistent variants by changing only the accent color. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to write a design-first UI generation prompt for a landing page hero using the structured skeleton with layout, typography, color, and negative prompt sections.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write better prompts for AI UI generation?

Structure the prompt like a design system: define goal, format, layout grid, typography, color palette, imagery style, exact copy, constraints, and a negative prompt. Lock the layout first, then iterate by changing one variable at a time.

How to get consistent results from AI image generators for UI design?

Consistency comes from a fixed prompt skeleton plus single-variable iteration. Change only one thing per variant, such as accent color, crop, or background tone, while keeping layout, hierarchy, and copy identical.

Why does AI-generated UI have misspelled text?

Image models treat typography as fragile visual patterns, so text often garbles. Use a two-pass workflow: generate the design without text while reserving a clean text-safe area, then typeset the copy in Figma.

What should a negative prompt include for UI generation?

A negative prompt should exclude logos, watermarks, extra text beyond provided lines, and gibberish typography. It acts as a guardrail that prevents the model from adding unwanted elements or breaking existing layout.

When should I use constraints cards in design prompts?

Use constraints cards when you want the model to obey a specific style. A small panel listing explicit values like font, style, and mode anchors the output like a mini style guide and reduces drift across variants.
