Prompt
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: Recipe Cooking Mode.

Required content and structure

Scale a supplied recipe, follow one step at a time and run separately named timers while retaining the ingredient list.

Screens and navigation

Build three connected views: Recipe; Cooking step; Active timers. 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 Simmer; 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 warm ivory, tomato, charcoal, food photography. 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

  • Do not scale oven temperature with servings; keep multiple timers and their labels distinct after navigation.

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 Recipe Cooking Mode. 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: Scale a supplied recipe, follow one step at a time and run separately named timers while retaining the ingredient list. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Begin with Recipe as the entry screen, give Cooking step a clear primary action, and make Active timers explain what happened and what can happen next. Use warm ivory, tomato, charcoal, food photography 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: Scale a supplied recipe, follow one step at a time and run separately named timers while retaining the ingredient list. Do not scale oven temperature with servings; keep multiple timers and their labels distinct after navigation. 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 Recipe Cooking Mode Design Prompt

Use this recipe cooking mode design prompt to scale a supplied recipe, follow one step at a time and run separately named timers while retaining the ingredient list.

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

Separate Scaled Ingredients from Cooking Instructions

A recipe cooking mode needs to keep the current step and its ingredients available while timers run.

Simmer, a fictional recipe cooking mode, showing recipe; cooking step; active timers in three mobile app screens.
Recipe Cooking Mode — compare the overall hierarchy with the layout instructions below.

Serving changes should not blindly multiply every number in the recipe. Begin with Recipe as the entry screen, give Cooking step a clear primary action, and make Active timers explain what happened and what can happen next. Use warm ivory, tomato, charcoal, food photography 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: Recipe; Cooking step; Active timers.

Make It Your Own

Scale supplied ingredient quantities for [SERVINGS], keeping oven temperature unchanged. Show one step at a time with ingredient access and separately named timers.

Prepare the Recipe Cooking Mode Content

The step screen combines progress, one instruction and a relevant timer; specify whether the timer continues when the user moves between steps.

Current cooking step with timer action in the Recipe Cooking Mode reference concept
Current cooking step with timer action.

Provide a complete recipe with ingredient units, serving count, ordered steps and named timers. Specify which quantities scale with servings and keep fixed instructions such as oven temperature outside that scaling rule.

From the Prompt

Scale a supplied recipe, follow one step at a time and run separately named timers while retaining the ingredient list.

Make It Your Own

For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this recipe cooking mode. Approved records and field labels for Recipe; Cooking step; Active timers; the action and persistence rules; brand assets and permission requirements. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.

Navigate with Two Timers

Each timer has its own label and controls; define independent pause, adjustment and completion feedback.

Multiple active timers with individual controls in the Recipe Cooking Mode reference concept
Multiple active timers with individual controls.

Both timers should retain their labels and elapsed state. Returning to an earlier step must not restart them or replace one timer with another. Test this specific boundary first: Do not scale oven temperature with servings; keep multiple timers and their labels distinct after navigation. 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.

Make It Your Own

Review the recipe cooking mode against this requirement: Do not scale oven temperature with servings; keep multiple timers and their labels distinct after navigation. Test this specific boundary first: Do not scale oven temperature with servings; keep multiple timers and their labels distinct after navigation. 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 Recipe Cooking Mode Result

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

  • Do not scale oven temperature with servings; keep multiple timers and their labels distinct after navigation.

Follow-Up Prompt

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

Refine only the Cooking step to Active timers transition. Do not scale oven temperature with servings; keep multiple timers and their labels distinct after navigation. 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.
