Prompt library
This library gives you ready-to-use prompts for standard features like logins, payments, notifications, and AI. Each prompt runs directly in project chat and configures the built-in backend without requiring outside API keys.
Anyone building an app who wants tested instructions for adding common features one at a time.
Do this, in order
- 1
Pick a single prompt from the library that matches the feature you need.
Starting with tested phrasing ensures Lovable builds the necessary screens and backend data correctly.
- 2
Replace specific numbers, titles, limits, or prices in the prompt with your own app details.
Lovable uses these values directly to name database tables and set interface rules.
- 3
Paste the prompt into your project chat, ending with an invitation for questions if it is a large feature.
Asking Lovable to clarify questions or using Plan mode ensures you agree on the strategy before code is generated.
- 4
Review and test the finished feature before pasting your next prompt.
Building one feature at a time keeps changes clean and avoids compounding mistakes.
Paste this into your project
Add user accounts to my app. Include signup, login, and forgot password pages that match the app's existing style. Require login before accessing the dashboard. Add a "Sign in with Google" button alongside email and password. Show clear error and success states on every form.
Words decoded
- Built-in backend
- The database, user management, and file storage Lovable provides automatically inside your project without needing external servers.
- Plan mode
- A chat option where Lovable outlines its proposed technical steps for your approval before writing any code.
Where people get stuck
- Trying to run several large feature prompts at once instead of testing one feature at a time.
- Built-in payments require a Pro plan or higher, and setup must be finished by a project admin or owner.
- Sending app emails requires a paid Lovable plan and a verified custom domain, or connecting your own Resend account.
