Dashboard design is an exercise in decisions, not decoration. Each prompt asks which question the screen answers and what happens when data is missing or delayed.

Generated screens are starting points. Test them with actual content, keyboard input, small screens and the people who need to use them. Do not treat visual polish as proof of usability.

How to use this collection

Pick the task closest to your work. Copy the prompt, replace the generic scene or code context with your own facts, and keep the constraints that help you judge the result. Change one variable at a time so you can tell what improved.

The approach follows the Figma First Draft guide: provide concrete context and inspect the output rather than assuming a polished first pass is correct.
