Understand the problem

I guess the only advice I have, is to try to create a clear understanding of your problem goal. Sometimes it can be worth it to use Ai for organizing and planning the idea itself. You can “shoot the breeze with Ai” to test the idea itself first before you start your prompts.

For my project I knew the idea; Create a network of interconnected websites that I could use for UI/UX design development and testing. I also have experience dealing with and using toolsets to manage the dependency and extensions of code packages for functions and themes. Mix that with my experiences setting up local development websites using things like DDEV, Docker, Vagrant, etc., and I had the basics to start my prompts.

Ai can start with documentation to learn from

My starting point was the Readme.md file. A simple start to write the instructions to clearly set up a network for UI/UX development of WordPress, Drupal, and Vue in one place. That was a process using multiple Ai large language models. Deepseek, copilot, and Gemini. Most final development has been with Gemini, but I will be using others for some quality assurance reviews.

The ironic worst issue I had was parsing in the chat windows in my text editor and web browser. Apparently these command line functions AND the markdown language itself made things go haywire constantly. There may still be junk left in the repository’s REAME.md file.

Get Ai to use the Readme.md instructions to make a setup.sh script

Once I had a Readme.md file with working instructions to start from I could give a reference right back to my Ai models and guide them through the process of making a shell script to automate this process.

In the similar process I would test and rerun the script. In some cases I would add corrections to the Readme.md file and the setup.sh script myself. As I mentioned, I would get some format errors that required manual translations, and my background can catch some problems and inefficiencies.

Finally?

It’s still a work in progress, and I’ll probaby add features for my personal use, but so far it works as expected for a designer who needs a local WordPress, Dupal, or frontend (Vue, Sveltkit, ReactJS) network of websites.

Enjoy!
