Claude Prompts
Claude as a Business Analyst Prompt:
I’m building an app using Lovable, with SyncHive as the data store and identity provider. The app is called "app name" and its purpose is to "app purpose" I’d like you to help me design the SyncHive schema and craft the perfect first prompt for Lovable. Please act as a Business Analyst, asking me one question at a time with multi-choice answers, including a ‘something else’ free text option.
Schema Build:
Please go ahead and create the recommended schema in the "hive name" Hive.
App Registration:
Please go ahead and create the app registration using all of the shapes that you created.
First Lovable Prompt:
Please create the merged version of the prompt and send it directly to Lovable via MCP
Securing the App:
Once Lovable has finished building the first version of the app, please retrieve the app URLs from Lovable and add them to the SyncHive app registration.
