The prompt
Written to be pasted straight into an agent with no editing. It describes the whole job, including the parts that will go wrong.
Build a conversational form builder. Forms are an ordered list of typed questions rendered one per viewport with a transition between them; support short text, long text, single and multi select, rating, date, email, number and file upload. Conditional logic routes to a target question based on an answer, modelled as a directed graph with cycle detection and unreachable-node warnings surfaced in the builder. Full keyboard operation: Enter advances, arrows select, and every control is reachable. Responses stream to a table with partial-submission capture and CSV export. Respect prefers-reduced-motion by disabling transitions.
What copies cleanly
- The one-question-per-screen flow with the transition. This is the whole visible idea and it is a fortnight of polish at most.
- A form builder with the usual field types, a response table, and a CSV export.
- Conditional logic, if you keep the rules simple.
Where it stops
- Logic jumps become a graph, and a graph needs cycle detection, an unreachable-question warning, and a preview that respects both.
- File uploads, partial submissions, spam, and the response volume of a form that gets shared once and goes wide.
- The feel. The reason people pay is the easing curve and the keyboard handling, and matching that is taste work an agent will approximate but not land.
What actually protects them
- Brand association with a specific interaction pattern.
- Integrations into every CRM and spreadsheet the buyer already uses.
Editor's note
One of the few entries where the moat is genuinely aesthetic. You can list every feature and still ship something that feels wrong.
