Prompt
Add Your Brief

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

Create an interactive frontend prototype using the existing project stack and explicitly labeled demo data for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: Workspace Switcher.

Required content and structure

List available workspaces with role, recent activity and creation/join paths.

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: warm white, ink text and restrained mint selected states; generous spacing and simple controls. Keep type, spacing and color roles consistent. Prioritize the task over decorative elements and avoid a generic collection of unrelated cards.

Content preparation

Prepare workspace names, membership roles, active status and join or create permissions. Include a workspace that is visible but inaccessible.

Layout and behavior

Make the active workspace unmistakable and show enough context to distinguish similar names. Keep switching separate from creating or requesting access.

Task-specific acceptance check

  • Keep the active workspace unmistakable and separate unavailable access.
  • Switch between similarly named workspaces and select an unavailable one.
  • Explain access restrictions without implying that the workspace was successfully opened.

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.

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 Workspace Switcher. 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: List available workspaces with role, recent activity and creation/join paths. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Make the active workspace unmistakable and show enough context to distinguish similar names. Keep switching separate from creating or requesting access.

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: List available workspaces with role, recent activity and creation/join paths. Keep the active workspace unmistakable and separate unavailable access. 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.

Download Prompt + Image

Includes the complete prompt and full-size reference image. Attach both in OpenDesign to guide the layout.

How to Write a Workspace Switcher Design Prompt

Use this workspace switcher design prompt to list available workspaces with role, recent activity and creation/join paths.

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

Make the Active Context Unmistakable

A workspace switcher changes the scope of the user's next action.

AI-generated visual concept for workspace switcher
Workspace Switcher — compare the overall hierarchy with the layout instructions below.

Name, role and access state should help distinguish similar workspaces before a switch. Make the active workspace unmistakable and show enough context to distinguish similar names. Keep switching separate from creating or requesting access.

From the Prompt

Make the active workspace unmistakable and show enough context to distinguish similar names.

Make It Your Own

List [WORKSPACES] with role and recent activity, clearly marking the active one. Separate accessible workspaces from unavailable entries and provide relevant join or creation paths.

Prepare the Workspace Switcher Content

Each workspace row includes the user's role and recent activity; keep the active workspace visibly distinct.

Workspace list with role and last activity in the Workspace Switcher reference concept
Workspace list with role and last activity.

Prepare workspace names, membership roles, active status and join or create permissions. Include a workspace that is visible but inaccessible.

From the Prompt

List available workspaces with role, recent activity and creation/join paths.

Make It Your Own

For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this workspace switcher. Prepare workspace names, membership roles, active status and join or create permissions. Include a workspace that is visible but inaccessible. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.

Choose an Unavailable Workspace

Unavailable entries explain the access state instead of behaving like normal links; define request-access and pending behavior.

Unavailable workspaces with pending and uninvited states in the Workspace Switcher reference concept
Unavailable workspaces with pending and uninvited states.

Explain the access requirement without pretending the switch succeeded. The active workspace indicator should continue to match the content behind the menu. Switch between similarly named workspaces and select an unavailable one. Explain access restrictions without implying that the workspace was successfully opened.

From the Prompt

Keep the active workspace unmistakable and separate unavailable access.

Make It Your Own

Review the workspace switcher against this requirement: Keep the active workspace unmistakable and separate unavailable access. Switch between similarly named workspaces and select an unavailable one. Explain access restrictions without implying that the workspace was successfully opened. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.

Review Your Workspace Switcher Result

A convincing screen is not a working backend. Test validation, permissions, persistence and failure behavior separately before connecting real data.

  • Switch between similarly named workspaces and select an unavailable one. Explain access restrictions without implying that the workspace was successfully opened.

Follow-Up Prompt

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

Refine the current workspace switcher. Switch between similarly named workspaces and select an unavailable one. Explain access restrictions without implying that the workspace was successfully opened. Preserve the approved content and visual direction; change only the parts needed to resolve these issues.
