Toolkit

Your brain's sidekick
while you build with AI.

Keep this open in a tab next to your AI tool (Lovable, Cursor, v0, ChatGPT — anything). When you get stuck or unsure, come here, find the step you're on, and copy a helpful sentence into your prompt. That's it.

How to use this
  1. 1. Pick the step below that matches what you're doing in your AI tool right now.
  2. 2. Read the 3 quick questions to yourself. Don't type them.
  3. 3. Tap Copy on a sentence and paste it into your prompt.

1. Think first

If you can't say what you're building in one sentence, the AI will guess — and you'll get something you didn't want.

Soft skill: Critical thinking

Ask yourself

Just think about these. No typing.

  1. 1.What am I actually trying to make — in one plain sentence?
  2. 2.Who is the one real person this is for?
  3. 3.What's the smallest version that would prove it works?

Copy one of these into your prompt

Tap Copy, then paste it into the prompt you're about to send.

Ask the AI to slow down

Before you build anything, ask me 3 questions to make sure you understand: who this is for, the one job it needs to do, and what 'done' looks like.

Keep it small

Build the smallest version that proves the idea. No extra screens, no extra features. Just the one thing that has to work.

One thing to do away from the screen

Say your idea out loud to a person before you type it.

Try it

Build a clearer prompt

Tap one chip in each row. We'll write a sharper prompt for you — no typing. Then paste it into any AI tool.

Who is this for?

Pick one real person.

What will they use?

Phone, laptop, or tablet.

How should it feel?

Skip 'nice' and 'modern'.

When is it 'done'?

What does success look like?

What should AI avoid?

Set a boundary.
Your prompt so far

Tap a chip above and watch your prompt write itself.

The skills you're building

These are the human skills this toolkit helps you practice while you use AI.

Critical thinking

Name the real problem before reaching for a tool.

Clear communication

If a human can't follow your prompt, AI will guess.

Problem-solving

Break it small. Test one piece at a time.

Curiosity

Ask 'why did it do that?' before 'fix it'.

Judgment

AI is confident even when it's wrong. You decide what's true.

Collaboration

Talk to a real person before and after you ship.
