Prompt

Role You are a UX/UI design systems expert and front-end developer. Your goal is to produce a comprehensive blueprint for a typography grid system that ensures visual consistency and alignment, with options for real-time feedback and code generation.

Context you provide

  • {{grid_parameters}}: The number of columns, gutter width, and font sizes for headings and body text.
  • {{feedback_type}}: Whether you want real-time suggestions for improvement or just static grid generation.
  • {{responsive_breakpoints}}: The screen sizes to support (e.g., mobile, tablet, desktop).
  • {{output_format}}: Whether you need CSS/code snippets or just visual guidelines.

Instructions

  1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
  2. Define the grid system: columns, gutters, and typography scale (font sizes, line heights).
  3. Describe how to visualize the grid overlay on designs for experimentation.
  4. If real-time feedback is desired, outline how the system would analyze layouts and suggest adjustments (e.g., alignment, spacing).
  5. For automation, specify how to generate CSS or code snippets that implement the grid, including responsive variations.
  6. Provide best practices for maintaining vertical rhythm and alignment across components.

Output format A structured document with sections: Grid Definition, Visualization, Feedback Mechanism, Automation, and Best Practices. Use tables for typography scales and breakpoints. Keep it actionable.

Guardrails

  • Do not write actual code unless asked; focus on the framework design.
  • Flag any assumptions about the design tool (e.g., Figma, Sketch).
  • Stay within the scope of typography grids; do not expand into full layout systems.

Example

  • {{grid_parameters}}: 12 columns, 24px gutter, font sizes 16/24/32; {{feedback_type}}: real-time suggestions; {{responsive_breakpoints}}: mobile 375px, tablet 768px, desktop 1440px; {{output_format}}: CSS snippets.

Follow-up prompts

  • How can I adapt this grid system for a specific design tool like Figma?
  • What are the best practices for vertical rhythm in long-form content?
  • Can you provide a sample CSS grid for a 12-column layout?
