Align and distribute layers

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

The same task, four prompts

today's deadline · the next reviewer · the stuck moment · the pattern

Distribute and align the homepage hero assets precisely: center the headline horizontally within the hero, space the CTA and secondary link with 16px gap, align the illustration baseline with the body copy, and ensure the three feature cards have equal horizontal spacing and identical top alignment. Lock their final positions and export an annotated screenshot for QA by Monday morning.

Before I share this with visual design and QA, make the alignment and distribution obvious: surface which layers are pinned to the baseline, show measured gaps between the headline, subhead, and CTAs, flag any card whose icon or label is off by more than 2px, and suggest one adjustment that would make the layout easier for engineers to implement pixel-perfect.

I aligned the cards but one icon sits slightly higher than the others
I used the distribute tool and the three feature cards look even, but Maya noticed the second card’s icon is a few pixels higher. I don’t know whether the icon artboard has extra transparent pixels or the card’s internal padding differs. What checks should I run to find whether it’s the asset or the frame, and what’s the fastest fix that won’t break the exported slices we already handed to front-end?

Small misalignments keep coming back in reviews
Every release review surfaces tiny alignment issues—icons off by 1–3px, inconsistent gaps—causing back-and-forth with QA. This costs credibility. What habit change or quick checklist will catch these before reviews, and what minimal tooling or file hygiene will make consistent alignment the path of least resistance for the whole team?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from Figma's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
