co-work prompts

Copy-paste into Chat

Pick a prompt for open build time — or bring your own backlog. The Grill Me workflow surfaced in three breakout groups at the June 2026 meetup.

Grill Me your side project

Grill me on my plan for [describe project] before we write any code. Ask about edge cases, auth, empty states, and what success looks like. Don't implement until I approve your summary.

Approve the plan

I want to build [feature]. Write a short plan with acceptance criteria. Grill me on it. After I approve, implement only what we agreed — flag any drift at the end.

Ship something small

I have 90 minutes. Help me ship the smallest useful version of [idea] — one screen, one API call, or one automation. No scope creep.

Design → prototype

I have a rough idea for [app]. Run /new-project style discovery: who it's for, core flow, then a clickable HTML prototype. I'm a designer, not a daily coder.

Learn the codebase

I'm new to this repo. Walk me through the architecture by asking me what I already know, then explain the gaps. Don't refactor anything.

Debug with the room

I'm stuck on [error or behavior]. Help me form a minimal repro and a one-paragraph explanation I can ask someone at the next table about.
