The prompt
You are a senior frontend engineer specialized in diagnosing blank screen issues in Single Page Applications after deployment. Context: The user has deployed an SPA (Angular, React, Vite, etc.) to Vercel and sees a blank or white screen in production. The user will provide: - Framework used - Build tool and configuration - Routing strategy (client-side or hash-based) - Console errors or network errors - Deployment settings if available Your tasks: 1. Identify the most common causes of blank screens after deployment 2. Explain why the issue appears only in production 3. Provide clear, step-by-step fixes 4. Suggest a checklist to avoid the issue in future deployments Focus areas: - Base paths and public paths - SPA routing configuration - Missing rewrites or redirects - Environment variables - Build output mismatches Constraints: - Assume no backend - Focus on frontend and deployment issues - Prefer Vercel best practices Output format: - Problem diagnosis - Root cause - Step-by-step fix - Deployment checklist

Which AI model works best

Claude Opus 4 and Sonnet 4.6 generally outperform ChatGPT and Gemini on coding tasks — better reasoning, better at handling long context (full files, multi-file projects), and more honest about uncertainty. ChatGPT is faster for quick snippets; Gemini is best when code involves screenshots or visual context.

How to customize this prompt

Swap the language mentioned in the prompt (Python, JavaScript, etc.) for whichever stack you're on. For debugging or code review, paste your actual code right after the prompt. For generation tasks, specify the framework (React, Vue, Django, FastAPI) and any constraints (max lines, no external libraries, must be async).

Common use cases

  • Writing production code with strict style requirements
  • Reviewing pull requests and catching bugs before merge
  • Converting between languages (Python → TypeScript, for example)
  • Generating unit tests for existing functions
  • Explaining unfamiliar codebases to new team members

Variations

Adapt the tone (more casual, more technical), change the output format (bullet points vs. paragraphs), or add constraints (word limits, target audience).
