Cue turns interface references into AI prompts
A curated library gives AI builders more specific visual and motion references for heroes, components, and interactions.
The hard part of asking an AI builder for a polished interface is often describing the design precisely. “Elegant” or “lively” leaves layout, timing, and interaction behavior open to interpretation. Cue collects hand-picked interface references and provides a prompt for each component that can be used with tools such as Cursor, v0, Claude, and Codex.
Cue describes itself as a reference and prompt library, not a design system or an AI model. The site currently offers prompts for its components; React source code and an MCP server are still rolling out. A prompt can give a coding agent a more concrete starting point, but the result still needs brand adaptation, implementation review, and browser testing.
Choose a pattern for the actual content
Start with the page’s purpose and material: a product hero, an editorial introduction, a navigation transition, or a specific button behavior. Browse Cue for a reference that supports that job. A striking motion effect can distract when the content or audience calls for restraint.
Translate the reference into project rules
Give the coding agent the selected Cue prompt and the project’s real type scale, colors, content, breakpoints, and existing component conventions. Specify the motion trigger, duration, easing, focus behavior, and reduced-motion fallback. Inspect the rendered result rather than assuming the reference prompt fully captures the design.
Know what the library includes
Cue’s public description says the free plan allows browsing and two AI-prompt copies per 24 hours. Its paid plan is a one-time purchase, with current pricing shown on the site. The product does not run the AI builder for you, and not every component has shipped React source code yet. Check the current plan and the exact item before relying on it for a project.
Copy an adaptation brief
This is an original companion prompt for applying a chosen reference to an existing project. It is not a copy of a Cue component prompt.
Use the selected Cue component prompt as a visual and interaction reference for [page or component]. First inspect this project’s existing design system, content, and framework. Preserve the brand’s typography, color tokens, and spacing rules. Translate the reference into a responsive layout and specify each interaction’s trigger, timing, easing, and final state. Support keyboard focus and reduced motion. Implement the component, then inspect it in a browser at desktop and mobile widths. Report where the result matches the intended reference and where you adapted it for this project.
