Your first AI prompts

Paste these into Claude, Cursor or Lovable, in order. Check that each one works before moving on.

PROMPT 1 OF 3

Build a web app called Lunchbox Rotation. Start with family login and a Kids page, then a Foods page with name, type (main, side, fruit or veg, snack) and which kids like it.

PROMPT 2 OF 3

Add a Plan Week button that picks one of each type per kid per school day, avoiding repeats of the same main in a week. Let parents swap any item with a tap.
