# How to write a prompt that works

Keep it simple. Ask for one thing, get it working, then add more. Short, clear ideas build best.

## Try this

* Start with the main idea, like "a lava obby with 5 jumps."
* **Build** it and see what you get.
* Add one thing at a time, like "add a checkpoint after each jump," then "add a win sign at the end."

## Good to know

* Short and clear beats long and packed.
* Got a message about a "structural defect"? Your idea is too big. Break it into smaller steps.
* Think of Studs like a teammate. Give it one clear job at a time.
* Watch the length meter in the box. Keep it green or yellow, not red. Red means it is too big and more likely to fail.
