Prompt
Add Your Brief

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

Create an HTML/CSS/JavaScript interaction study with explicit start, active and completed states and a readable prefers-reduced-motion fallback for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: Toast Notification System.

Required content and structure

Animate stacked feedback messages with priorities, actions and dismissal.

Use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source of names, dates, figures, claims and destinations. List missing inputs before substituting anything. If a demonstration is needed, label its content as fictional. Do not invent customer quotes, rankings, partner logos or product capabilities.

Design direction

Use [BRAND_RULES] and the design system already selected in the project. If no system is supplied, start with this direction: white, charcoal and vivid green highlights; clearly labeled start, transition and end states. Keep type, spacing and color roles consistent. Prioritize the task over decorative elements and avoid a generic collection of unrelated cards.

Content preparation

Define message types, priority, actions, duration rules and which messages require persistent attention. Include several notifications arriving close together.

Layout and behavior

Stack messages without covering primary controls and give each one a clear purpose. Keep actionable or critical information available long enough to read and act on.

Task-specific acceptance check

  • Keep critical information persistent enough to read and announce relevant updates.
  • Trigger repeated messages, dismiss one and use an inline action.
  • Avoid repeated screen-reader announcements and do not let an auto-dismiss timer erase information needed to recover from failure.

Implementation and review

Keep text editable. Use semantic structure, descriptive controls, visible keyboard focus and appropriate empty/error states. Check narrow and wide layouts. Respect reduced-motion preferences. Preserve any existing project framework and dependencies; do not silently replace the stack. Return the editable files and explain any incomplete behavior or unsupported inputs. Review this specific task before proposing extra features.

Make the complete information and action available without animation. Provide pause or dismissal where relevant. Document triggers and transitions; do not replace actual progress with a decorative timer.

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 Toast Notification System. 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: Animate stacked feedback messages with priorities, actions and dismissal. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Stack messages without covering primary controls and give each one a clear purpose. Keep actionable or critical information available long enough to read and act on.

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 working project. Start with the core task: Animate stacked feedback messages with priorities, actions and dismissal. Keep critical information persistent enough to read and announce relevant updates. 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 Toast Notification System Design Prompt

Use this toast notification system design prompt to animate stacked feedback messages with priorities, actions and dismissal.

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

Match Persistence to Importance

A toast notification system needs readable messages and predictable actions.

AI-generated visual concept for toast notification system
Toast Notification System — compare the overall hierarchy with the layout instructions below.

Critical information should not disappear before a user can understand or act on it. Stack messages without covering primary controls and give each one a clear purpose. Keep actionable or critical information available long enough to read and act on.

From the Prompt

Stack messages without covering primary controls and give each one a clear purpose.

Make It Your Own

Stack [MESSAGES] by priority, with labeled actions and dismissal. Announce relevant updates and keep critical feedback persistent or available in a lasting location.

Prepare the Toast Notification System Content

The active state stacks different message priorities; define which persist and which can dismiss automatically.

Stacked error, success and informational notifications in the Toast Notification System reference concept
Stacked error, success and informational notifications.

Define message types, priority, actions, duration rules and which messages require persistent attention. Include several notifications arriving close together.

From the Prompt

Animate stacked feedback messages with priorities, actions and dismissal.

Make It Your Own

For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this toast notification system. Define message types, priority, actions, duration rules and which messages require persistent attention. Include several notifications arriving close together. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.

Receive Several Messages

The lower row names behavior rules; translate these into explicit durations, keyboard access and screen-reader announcements.

Priority, action and dismissal rules in the Toast Notification System reference concept
Priority, action and dismissal rules.

New messages should not cover an action the user is about to take. Reading or keyboard interaction should not be cut short by an arbitrary dismissal timer. Trigger repeated messages, dismiss one and use an inline action. Avoid repeated screen-reader announcements and do not let an auto-dismiss timer erase information needed to recover from failure.

From the Prompt

Keep critical information persistent enough to read and announce relevant updates.

Make It Your Own

Review the toast notification system against this requirement: Keep critical information persistent enough to read and announce relevant updates. Trigger repeated messages, dismiss one and use an inline action. Avoid repeated screen-reader announcements and do not let an auto-dismiss timer erase information needed to recover from failure. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.

Review Your Toast Notification System Result

The preview is a static storyboard. It does not demonstrate working animation, measured performance or accessibility. Test the implemented interaction and reduced-motion path.

  • Trigger repeated messages, dismiss one and use an inline action. Avoid repeated screen-reader announcements and do not let an auto-dismiss timer erase information needed to recover from failure.

Follow-Up Prompt

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

Refine the current toast notification system. Trigger repeated messages, dismiss one and use an inline action. Avoid repeated screen-reader announcements and do not let an auto-dismiss timer erase information needed to recover from failure. Preserve the approved content and visual direction; change only the parts needed to resolve these issues.
