Manage design operations

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.

Move the 'Marketing Campaign Q2' design files from the 'Drafts' folder to 'Approved Assets' and notify Jessica that they are ready for use. Archive the previous version of the campaign assets.

Before our weekly design review, organize all the current sprint's design files. Make sure each artboard is clearly labeled, all components are updated, and any open comments from the last review are addressed or noted. Flag any designs that are still waiting on content or stakeholder feedback, so we can prioritize discussion.

Two designers on my team are proposing completely different approaches for the same feature, and neither wants to compromise.
Two designers on my team are proposing completely different approaches for the same feature, and neither wants to compromise, making it impossible to move forward. I'm afraid to pick a side and demotivate the other, but I also can't let this stalemate continue. What's the best way to facilitate a resolution or make a decision that feels fair and keeps the project moving, and what's my immediate next step?

Hand-offs to development often result in questions about spacing, assets, or interactions that should be clear.
Hand-offs to development often result in a barrage of questions about spacing, asset sizes, or interaction details that should be clear in the design. This slows down development and frustrates everyone. What habit can I change in how I prepare and present my design files for engineering to ensure they have all the necessary information upfront, reducing back-and-forth?

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.
