Why daisyUI works

<div class="hero bg-base-200">
  <div class="hero-content text-center">
    <h1 class="text-4xl font-bold">Launch faster</h1>
    <button class="btn btn-primary">Get started</button>
  </div>
</div>

How to prompt Claude Code

Tell Claude Code which daisyUI components belong in the screen. A prompt such as "create a homepage" leaves too much open. A stronger prompt says: "create a homepage with a hero, feature cards, pricing cards, FAQ collapse items, and primary CTA."

That level of detail still leaves room for Claude to design, but it prevents random component invention. The output becomes easier to revise because each section has an obvious role.
