Coding-assistant prompts (excerpt) Taken from the product files
### 1. Turn an idea into a project brief **When to use:** You have a rough app idea and nothing written down yet. ```text I want to build a small web app. Here is my idea in my own words: [APP IDEA] Turn it into a one-page project brief with these headings: - One sentence: what it does, for whom, and why - User journey: 4 to 7 steps, each starting with a verb - Version 1 scope: must have / later / not planned - Data: one realistic example record and a rule for each field - Screens and states: empty, no results, invalid input, error - Constraints: [TECH CONSTRAINTS, e.g. plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, no build step, data in localStorage] Keep version 1 small enough to build in [AVAILABLE TIME]. Mark every assumption you made with "(assumption)" so I can check it. Do not write any code. ``` ### 2. Find the gaps in my plan **When to use:** You have a brief and want problems found before any code exists. ```text Here is the project brief for my app: [PROJECT BRIEF] Act as a careful reviewer before any code is written. List up to [NUMBER] questions or gaps that would make this app hard to build, confusing to use, or risky (for example: missing states, unclear rules, data that could be lost). Order them by importance and say in one sentence why each matters. Do not suggest new features and do not write code. ```

About this product
The AI Coding Starter Kit is for beginners who want to build a first small web app with an AI coding assistant — and understand the code they ship. The workbook covers how assistants work and fail, planning before prompting, reading unfamiliar code, debugging, safety basics, and publishing a first version.
You practice on a real starter project: a small link-collection app written in plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with no build step. Graded exercises extend it, and 40 reusable prompts help you plan, explain, debug, test, and review code.
What's included
- 34-page workbook (PDF)
Eight chapters, each ending with an exercise and a checklist, plus a 33-term glossary.
- 40 coding-assistant prompts
Eight groups of five — planning, explaining, writing code, debugging, testing, refactoring, accessibility, and security review — each with when to use it.
- Working starter project
“Link Shelf”: add, edit, delete, tags, search, and browser storage in plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with a code tour and 10 graded exercises.
- Three checklists
Launch, security basics, and debugging — 83 items in Markdown.
Requirements & compatibility
- Windows, macOS, or Linux with a code editor and a current browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari).
- Access to an AI chat or coding assistant of your choice (not included).
- Optional: Python 3 or Node.js for a local server, and Git.
Works with any AI assistant. The starter project needs no installation, build tools, or paid services.

Questions
Do I need programming experience?
No. The workbook starts from setting up an editor and opening the project in a browser.
Which AI assistant should I use?
Any. The prompts are written for general chat assistants and editor-integrated assistants alike.
Is this a course with live sessions?
No. It is a downloadable workbook and code project you complete at your own pace.
How will I receive it?
