💡 Pro Tips for Better Prompts

1. Always Specify the Tech Stack

Don't assume. Explicitly mention: "Use Next.js 14, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Supabase" instead of "build a web app."

2. Include Design Preferences

Add: "Use dark mode, glassmorphism effects, and smooth animations" to get visually appealing results.

3. Request Best Practices

Add: "Follow TypeScript best practices, use proper error handling, and implement loading states."

4. Be Iterative

Start with a basic version, then ask: "Now add feature X" rather than requesting everything at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which prompt should I start with as a complete beginner?

Start with the Simple Landing Page prompt (#1). It's the easiest to understand and gives you immediate visual results, which is incredibly motivating. You'll learn basic Antigravity concepts without getting overwhelmed by complex features like databases or authentication. Once you successfully complete this, move to the Todo List (#2) to learn about state management, and then tackle the Personal Portfolio (#3) which combines everything you've learned.

How long does it typically take to complete each prompt?

With Antigravity AI, foundation prompts (#1-3) typically complete in 10-15 minutes, intermediate prompts (#4-6) take 20-30 minutes, and advanced prompts (#7-8) may need 45-60 minutes including testing and refinements. The AI does the heavy lifting of writing code, but you'll spend time reviewing, testing, and iteratively improving based on your requirements. As you get better at writing specific prompts, completion times decrease significantly.

Do I need to know coding to use these prompts?

Basic programming knowledge is helpful but not strictly required for foundation prompts. Understanding concepts like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript basics will help you modify the AI-generated code to fit your exact needs. For intermediate and advanced prompts, familiarity with the tech stack (React, Next.js, TypeScript) helps you guide the AI better and troubleshoot issues. Think of Antigravity as amplifying your existing skills - beginners can build impressive projects, while experienced developers can work 10x faster.

Why do some prompts work better than others?

Prompt effectiveness depends on specificity and clarity. The example prompts in this guide work well because they specify exact technologies (Next.js 14, Tailwind CSS), include design requirements (dark mode, glassmorphism), and list concrete features as bullet points. Vague prompts like "build a website" give unpredictable results. Good prompts also include constraints (responsive design, error handling) that guide the AI toward production-quality code rather than quick prototypes.

Can I combine multiple prompts for one project?

Absolutely! This is actually the recommended approach for complex projects. For example, start with the Authentication System prompt (#6), then add the Blog with CMS prompt (#4), and finish with parts of the E-commerce prompt (#7) for payments. Add all relevant prompts to your .antigravity file, and the AI will follow all the guidelines simultaneously. Just make sure the prompts don't conflict (e.g., one requiring Supabase and another requiring Firebase).
