Prompts are briefs, not spells\n\nTreat the AI like a very fast junior developer who has never met you. Context beats cleverness.\n\n## The four-part prompt\n\n1. **What** you want built\n2. **Where** it goes in the app\n3. **How** it should look or behave\n4. **What not** to change\n\n## Be specific about the thing you can see\n\n"The card on the pricing page has too much padding" is actionable.
