Add Your Brief

Add your context below. It will be included with the prompt when you copy or download.

Create an editable mobile-first app prototype using the existing project stack for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: Community Tool Lending.

Required content and structure

Find a locally listed tool, inspect its condition and lending terms, request dates and record a return checklist with owner confirmation.

Screens and navigation

Build three connected views: Available tools; Borrow request; Return checklist. Keep the selected record visible in the screen title or summary. Support an explicit back action and preserve in-progress inputs when moving between views. Keep the primary action near the relevant content and account for mobile safe areas, a visible software keyboard and long translated labels. At desktop widths, adapt the composition without removing a step or changing the task.

Project inputs

Use [APPROVED_CONTENT] for names, records, labels, quantities and destinations. Ask for missing data instead of inventing operational claims. Demonstration records may use the fictional brand Borrow; label these as sample data. Explain which actions are local prototype interactions and which would require authentication, persistence, permissions or a backend. Do not connect external services or claim a transaction was completed unless that integration has been explicitly implemented and tested.

Design direction

Follow [BRAND_RULES]. When no brand is supplied, use off-white, workshop orange, dark graphite, utilitarian icons. Make the workflow recognizable through its own content and controls, rather than repeating generic dashboard cards. Use a consistent spacing scale and clear text hierarchy. Include visible keyboard focus, accessible names, sufficient contrast and non-color status labels. Respect reduced motion and keep animated transitions optional.

Task-specific acceptance check

  • Separate requested dates from accepted bookings and user-reported return from owner-confirmed return.

Interaction states

Implement the three-screen happy path with local sample data. Include a useful empty state, validation before completing an action, a loading or pending state and a recoverable failure state. Destructive changes require a review or undo path. Keep the state of a record consistent across all three views. Do not silently discard partially completed input or change a user's choice after a retry.

Delivery and review

Return the editable app views and explain the data model, any local storage behavior and unimplemented integrations. Test at 320px and a wider viewport, with keyboard navigation and long content. Use the task-specific acceptance check above to review the result before adding features. Keep demonstration behavior clearly distinct from a running production service.

Reference attachment and reconstruction goal

Attach reference.webp from this prompt’s download bundle alongside this prompt in OpenDesign. Build an editable result with a similar composition and hierarchy; do not embed the whole reference image as the finished interface. Preserve approved project content and brand rules if they conflict with fictional sample labels. If the image is missing or unreadable, ask for it instead of claiming visual fidelity.

Reference composition and content

Use the attached reference.webp as the visual reference for Community Tool Lending. Before building, identify the major regions from top to bottom, their relative widths and heights, alignment, spacing, typography hierarchy, surface colors, borders, imagery and repeated components. Preserve those relationships rather than substituting a generic template. Required task content: Find a locally listed tool, inspect its condition and lending terms, request dates and record a return checklist with owner confirmation. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Begin with Available tools as the entry screen, give Borrow request a clear primary action, and make Return checklist explain what happened and what can happen next. Use off-white, workshop orange, dark graphite, utilitarian icons as a starting direction, adapting it to the supplied brand. Keep record identity and navigation context visible across the three screens. Prioritize thumb-accessible controls and readable labels over decorative panels; on wider screens, keep the workflow coherent rather than stretching a mobile composition edge to edge.

Interaction specification

The reference is a static concept: the behavior below is a requirement to implement, not proof that the picture already works. Copy the customized prompt into your project and build the connected flow: Find a locally listed tool, inspect its condition and lending terms, request dates and record a return checklist with owner confirmation. Separate requested dates from accepted bookings and user-reported return from owner-confirmed return. For each visible control, specify its trigger, affected state and feedback; implement local changes with consistent state across related views. Give search and filters real results, selection controls an explicit active state, and save actions visible pending/success/failure feedback where relevant. Do not add unrelated workflows. Use proper links for navigation, buttons for actions and accessible names for icon controls. Do not imply a backend operation succeeded when only a local demo changed.

Visual comparison and delivery

  1. Compare the result with the attached image at matching proportions. Review major region placement, relative image sizes, line breaks, spacing, typography hierarchy, contrast, active states and content density before polishing decorative details.
  2. Then test the narrow layout without squeezing desktop text into tiny labels.
  3. Keep logos, photos and icons as separate assets and all meaningful labels editable. List any unavailable fonts/assets and any intentional departures. Return the working files plus a concise account of implemented behavior and remaining integrations; do not promise a pixel-identical result from the prompt alone.

How to Write a Community Tool Lending Design Prompt

Use this community tool lending design prompt to find a locally listed tool, inspect its condition and lending terms, request dates and record a return checklist with owner confirmation.

The reference is an AI-generated concept. The instructions below describe what to build and test; the image does not demonstrate working behavior.

Separate a Request from an Accepted Loan

A tool lending app coordinates agreement between people.

Borrow, a fictional community tool lending, showing available tools; borrow request; return checklist in three mobile app screens.
Community Tool Lending — compare the overall hierarchy with the layout instructions below.

Requested dates, accepted bookings and return confirmation should have different states and responsible actors. Begin with Available tools as the entry screen, give Borrow request a clear primary action, and make Return checklist explain what happened and what can happen next. Use off-white, workshop orange, dark graphite, utilitarian icons as a starting direction, adapting it to the supplied brand. Keep record identity and navigation context visible across the three screens. Prioritize thumb-accessible controls and readable labels over decorative panels; on wider screens, keep the workflow coherent rather than stretching a mobile composition edge to edge.

From the Prompt

Build three connected views: Available tools; Borrow request; Return checklist.

Make It Your Own

Show [TOOL] condition and lending terms before a date request. Track requested and accepted dates separately, then record a return checklist awaiting owner confirmation.

Prepare the Community Tool Lending Content

The request screen presents requested dates and lending terms below the selected tool. Prepare availability and owner terms; a request must remain distinct from an accepted booking.

Tool borrow request and lending terms in the Community Tool Lending reference
Tool borrow request and lending terms.

Prepare tool descriptions, condition notes, lending terms and example dates. Define who can accept a request and confirm a return, including what happens when the borrower marks a tool returned before the owner checks it.

From the Prompt

Find a locally listed tool, inspect its condition and lending terms, request dates and record a return checklist with owner confirmation.

Make It Your Own

For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this community tool lending. Approved records and field labels for Available tools; Borrow request; Return checklist; the action and persistence rules; brand assets and permission requirements. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.

Record a Disputed Return

The return screen combines a status timeline, condition checklist and Mark as Returned. Verify that borrower return and owner confirmation remain separate states.

A borrower's returned status should not imply owner acceptance. Keep the checklist and confirmation state visible so both sides can understand what remains unresolved. Test this specific boundary first: Separate requested dates from accepted bookings and user-reported return from owner-confirmed return. Then run the main flow with a long record title, no saved records and a failed action. A user should be able to tell what is saved, what is pending and what can be undone without relying on color. Verify that returning to the previous screen preserves entered data and that a screen reader encounters the title, status and primary action in a sensible order.

Review the community tool lending against this requirement: Separate requested dates from accepted bookings and user-reported return from owner-confirmed return. Test this specific boundary first: Separate requested dates from accepted bookings and user-reported return from owner-confirmed return. Then run the main flow with a long record title, no saved records and a failed action. A user should be able to tell what is saved, what is pending and what can be undone without relying on color. Verify that returning to the previous screen preserves entered data and that a screen reader encounters the title, status and primary action in a sensible order. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.

Review Your Community Tool Lending Result

The example is an AI-generated visual concept. Connected services, device permissions and persistent data require separate implementation and testing.

  • Separate requested dates from accepted bookings and user-reported return from owner-confirmed return.

Follow-Up Prompt

Use this after the first result. It narrows the revision to the most important part of this task.

Refine only the Borrow request to Return checklist transition. Separate requested dates from accepted bookings and user-reported return from owner-confirmed return. Show the relevant pending, failure and completed states with explicit labels. Preserve the approved navigation, typography and other screens. Return the changed views and describe how entered data survives a retry.
