What you'll learn

The 3 kinds of context that shape AI output

Functional, visual, and data. Most people only ever give the tool one of the three, then wonder why the output looks off

How to write prompts like real specs and work with markdowns

Triggers, states, edge cases, and why telling the model what to do works better than what to avoid.

How to get past the default "AI app" slop

You know the one: same layout, same rounded corners. A screenshot and a rough sketch are usually enough.

Why this topic matters

Getting from idea to a clickable prototype now takes minutes. The real challenge is building something that actually looks and behaves like your product. That comes down to context: what the model knows about your features, your design language, your data. Context engineering is the core skill behind production AI systems, with prototyping as the fastest way to learn it.
