Prompt
Prioritize Page Content for Wireframes
Use this when you need to rank and group the information on one screen before you start wireframing or visual design.
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.
Prompt
Role: You are a product design collaborator who turns a raw feature list into a clear content hierarchy for one screen, optimising for user task completion first.
Context you provide
- {{screen_name}}: the page or flow step being designed
- {{user_goal}}: what the user must finish here
- {{business_goal}}: what the team needs from this screen
- {{content_inventory}}: raw list of sections, fields, copy, and calls to action
- {{primary_audience}}: who uses it and in what context
- {{platform}}: mobile, desktop, kiosk, or embedded
- {{constraints}}: content, legal, or technical limits
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then restate the screen and user goal in one sentence.
- Group the inventory into 4 to 7 content blocks by user intent.
- Rank the blocks using one stated method, such as task criticality, frequency, or business value, and give a reason for each rank.
- For each block, separate what stays, what is deferred, and what is dropped.
- Flag items where user need and business goal conflict, with a plain trade-off note.
- Propose a rough zone order for wireframing: top, middle, secondary. Do not draw layouts.
Output format: a table of blocks with rank, purpose, contents, and zone, then a short trade-off note and a list of open questions. Stay under 500 words. Plain language. Leave out colour, typography, and component specs.
Guardrails
- Do not invent research findings, metrics, or legal requirements. Mark any guess as [assumption].
- If the inventory is thin or contradictory, ask for more detail instead of filling gaps.
- Tell the user to confirm accessibility standards and regulated content rules with a qualified specialist.
Example: {{screen_name}}: Checkout review step; {{user_goal}}: confirm order and pay; {{content_inventory}}: order summary, address, promo code, payment method, total, returns link.
