These prompts give an agent the full instructions for a Charming task. Copy the prompt that matches what you want to do. The linked pages are written for the agent, so they are more detailed than a normal guide.

Already connected to Charming? Your agent can read each linked prompt through MCP without a browser: for example, `read_docs({ path: "prompts/build-your-first-app.md" })`. Pass only the path after `/docs/`. See [Read docs through MCP](/docs/technical-reference#read-docs-through-mcp) for discovery and continuation steps.

## Build your first app

Copy this into your agent:

```text
Read https://charm.ing/docs/prompts/build-your-first-app.md then help me create my first app.
```

[Read the full prompt](/docs/prompts/build-your-first-app)

## Use an existing app

Copy this into your agent with the app URL:

```text
Read https://charm.ing/docs/prompts/use-an-existing-app.md then help me use this app: <app URL>
```

[Read the full prompt](/docs/prompts/use-an-existing-app)

## Design an app

Copy this when an agent is building or redesigning a Charming interface:

```text
Read https://charm.ing/docs/prompts/design-an-app.md before you build or redesign the interface for my Charming app.
```
