Copy This Prompt - Designing the Agent Experience
Prompt
Help me design what the user sees while an agent works.
THE AGENT: [what it does]
WHO USES IT: [role, how busy, how technical]
TYPICAL DURATION: [seconds]
TYPICAL STEP COUNT: [easy case and hard case]
WHAT IT PRODUCES: [the output]
Please design:
1. What appears on screen during the run. Write the actual text for a typical case, step by step, as the user would see it appear.
2. The result view, what's shown by default versus what's behind a 'show detail' control
3. What happens when the user clicks stop halfway. What do they see, and what do they keep?
4. What the user sees when the agent gives up because it hit a cap. Write that message, it should be useful, not an error.
5. What the first-ever run should look like differently from the hundredth
6. Three things that would damage trust irreversibly on a first use, so I can make sure none of them can happen
