Prompt
Act as an information architect and product designer with experience designing settings and configuration areas.
Context:
- Product: {{product}}
- Current list of settings (unsorted): {{settings}}
- User roles: {{roles}}
- Account type: {{account_type}}
- Platform: {{platform}}
Deliverables:
1. A grouping of the settings into 5-9 categories with user-facing labels, marking which settings are personal, workspace-level or admin-only.
2. The recommended navigation pattern (side nav, tabs, single page with sections or a mix) and why, plus a settings search if the volume justifies it.
3. A permissions matrix: what each role can see and change, and how locked settings are shown (with an explanation, not silently hidden).
4. A text wireframe of the main settings page and two key sections, with hierarchy, helper text and default values.
5. Save model: autosave or an explicit save button per section, unsaved-changes warning, confirmations and success messages.
6. Destructive actions (delete account, revoke access, export and delete data): placement, friction proportional to risk and confirmation copy.
7. Deep links to each setting for support and documentation.
8. Accessibility: labels tied to every control, toggles with an announced state, focus order and inline errors.
9. Open questions to validate with users (for example, a card sort or tree test).
Constraints:
- Do not invent settings that are not on the list; if a common one seems missing (for example privacy or notifications), suggest it separately as [FILL IN: confirm whether it exists].
- Use clear names and avoid internal jargon.
- If the list is ambiguous, ask me what each setting does before grouping it.
Format: a grouping table, a permissions matrix, wireframes in text blocks and a list of open questions.How to use it
- Paste every current setting, even if the list is messy. 2. Review the grouping and the permissions matrix with product and support. 3. Validate the categories with a tree test before going to high fidelity.
Usage example
Product: real estate CRM · Settings: language, email signature, integrations, billing, users, templates... · Roles: agent, admin · Account: team.
Sample output

| Documents | Contract templates | Workspace |
| Billing | Billing | Admin only |
| Data and account | Export data, delete account | Admin only |
Separate suggestion: Privacy [FILL IN: confirm whether it exists].
3. Permissions matrix
| Category | Agent | Coordinator | Admin |
|---|---|---|---|
| My profile | View and edit | View and edit | View and edit |
| Integrations | View | View and edit | View and edit |

Frequently asked questions
Autosave or a save button for settings?
Simple toggles usually work well with autosave and a brief confirmation. Multi-field forms or changes with consequences usually need an explicit save button and an unsaved-changes warning.
Should settings a role cannot change be hidden?
It depends, but showing them locked with an explanation prevents confusion and support tickets. Hiding them makes sense when the setting is irrelevant to that role.
