Look inside

Three prompts, printed in full.

This is exactly how all 100 prompts look in the book.

Prompt 1.1: Turn an idea into a clear specification

Use when: You have a vague idea such as "a robot that follows a line" and need a plan.
I want to build a robot that [WHAT IT SHOULD DO]. My experience level is [BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE]. My budget is [AMOUNT]. I have these tools: [LIST TOOLS].
Ask me up to eight questions that would change the design (for example environment, size, runtime, payload). After I answer, write a one-page specification with: goal, success test, size limit, runtime target, and what is out of scope.
Verify: Read the specification and check that the success test is something you can actually measure with a stopwatch or ruler.

Prompt 6.4: Robot arm basics

Use when: Building a simple arm.
I am building a [NUMBER]-joint arm with [SERVO/STEPPER TYPE]. Explain joint limits, how to avoid hitting its own base, how to move smoothly instead of jumping, and a simple method to find the angles needed to reach a point. Do not give code unless I ask; list the steps and what to test.
Verify: Use slow movement and soft limits first. Keep fingers clear while testing.

Prompt 11.7: Joint limit and collision guard

Use when: Preventing the arm from hitting itself.
Help me define software joint limits and simple collision checks for my arm with these dimensions [DIMENSIONS] and mounting [MOUNTING]. Show how to check commands before sending them to servos.
Verify: Find real limits by moving joints slowly by hand with power off where safe.
