Prompt 02 — Give Me Options

When to use: You know what to improve but want real alternatives, not the first idea Claude has.

Give me 5 UI/UX options for improving this screen.

Make them meaningfully different:
1. Minimal cleanup
2. Modern SaaS
3. Dense power-user dashboard
4. Mobile-first
5. Premium executive view

For each option:
- describe the layout
- list components used
- describe navigation
- explain tradeoffs
- estimate effort
- recommend who it is best for

Do not code yet.

Why 5, not 3

Three is the minimum to force differentiation. Five is the right number when the screen is load-bearing in your product — a primary dashboard, a key form, the first-run experience. The extra two options are usually mobile-first and premium, both of which expose blind spots.

What you get back

Five distinct product proposals. Each is a real product you could ship. The recommendation paragraph at the end tells you which fits your audience.

How to read the output

Cross out the ones whose audience isn’t yours.
For the remaining 2-3, look at “components used” — the cheaper one (more reuse, fewer new patterns) is usually the right starting point.
Pick one. Move to implementation.
