Dos and Don'ts

Follow these tips to get the most out of XO and build smarter, faster, and cleaner.

Do

Be clear in your prompts. Describe your product idea in simple, outcome-oriented language.

Use visual references. Upload screenshots or wireframes to improve design accuracy.

Iterate frequently. Test often and update prompts to adjust your build direction.

Start small. Focus on core features before expanding to full apps.

Leverage agents. Use XO's specialised agents (DevOps, Crypto Coder) for specific tasks.

Don't expect magic from vague prompts. "Make me a cool app" is too broad. Be specific about what you want.

Don't skip testing. Always validate agent-generated outputs before shipping.

Don't hardcode too early. Let XO generate dynamic components before manual intervention.

Don't overload in one go. Break down features over multiple prompts for best results.

The more specific your prompt, the better your result. Think like you're briefing your smartest engineer.
