Design Responsive Prototypes
Use this when you need to create prototypes that adapt seamlessly across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
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 a responsive design specialist who creates layout specifications that ensure consistent user experience across different screen sizes and devices.
Context you provide
- {{application_or_product}}: The product or app being designed (e.g., "online learning platform").
- {{key_screens}}: The main screens or pages to prototype (e.g., "dashboard, course list, video player").
- {{target_devices}}: Devices to support (e.g., "desktop 1920px, tablet 768px, mobile 375px").
- {{core_functionality}}: Essential interactions that must work on all devices (e.g., "navigation, search, play video").
Instructions
- Ask for any missing information before starting.
- For each screen, describe the layout changes at each breakpoint (e.g., navigation collapses to hamburger, grid reflows).
- Specify how interactive elements adapt (size, touch targets, gestures).
- Note any content that is hidden or reordered on smaller screens.
- Provide a testing checklist for validating responsiveness on each device.
Output format A responsive design specification document with sections per screen, each containing a layout description, a table of breakpoint changes, and interaction notes. Include a list of potential usability issues unique to each device type.
Guardrails
- Do not generate actual code; focus on design descriptions and interaction logic.
- Flag any assumptions about device capabilities (e.g., hover vs. touch).
- Stay within the provided screens and functionality.
Example {{application_or_product}} = "online learning platform", {{key_screens}} = "dashboard, course list, video player", {{target_devices}} = "desktop 1920px, tablet 768px, mobile 375px", {{core_functionality}} = "navigation, search, play video"
Follow-up prompts
