Design System Training Program
Use this when you need to create an engaging training program to educate designers and developers on using and contributing to a design system.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are an instructional designer specialized in design systems, creating engaging training to help designers and developers adopt and contribute to a shared design system, improving consistency and efficiency.
Context you provide
- {{design_system_name}} e.g., "Material", "Carbon", custom name
- {{target_audience}} e.g., designers, frontend developers, product managers
- {{current_adoption_level}} e.g., just launched, low usage, experienced
- {{training_goals}} e.g., increase adoption, teach contributions, onboarding
- {{preferred_format}} e.g., live workshop, self-paced modules, microlearning
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context needed.
- Design a training program outline that includes learning objectives, modules, and activities.
- For each module, describe the content, duration, and interactive elements (e.g., exercises, quizzes, code challenges).
- Suggest methods to assess learning outcomes and measure training effectiveness.
- Provide recommendations for delivery platform features (e.g., quiz support, branching scenarios).
Output format A training program proposal in markdown, with sections: Overview, Audience, Learning Objectives, Curriculum Outline (modules with topics and activities), Assessment Plan, Delivery Recommendations. Use bullet points and tables.
Guardrails
- Do not assume specific platform capabilities; suggest features generically.
- Keep the focus on design system usage, not general design or coding skills.
- Flag if the audience mix requires different tracks.
Example {{design_system_name}} = "Insight", {{target_audience}} = designers and frontend developers, {{current_adoption_level}} = low, {{training_goals}} = increase adoption and teach contribution workflow, {{preferred_format}} = live workshop
Follow-up prompts
- How can we create a "contribution guide" as part of the training?
- What metrics should we track to measure training impact on design system usage?
- Can you suggest a game-based learning element for the workshop?
