Prompting from the Grid

DriftGrid turns comments into agent prompts. Press C in frame view, click to place a pin, and write what you want.

The Flow

  1. Enter frame view (Enter on a card)
  2. Press C — crosshair cursor appears
  3. Click anywhere on the design to place a pin
  4. Type your prompt: “Make the headline bigger” or “Add a product grid section”
  5. Press Enter — prompt is saved
  6. Copy the prompt to your agent, or use “Send to Agent” if MCP is connected

What the Agent Receives

When you copy a prompt, the clipboard contains:

  • The file path (so the agent knows which file to edit)
  • Pin location (percentage coordinates)
  • Your prompt text
  • Any replies in the thread

Whole-Version Prompts

In grid view, press C on an empty drift slot to write a whole-version prompt. This appears as a floating input below the card. Use this for big-picture direction:

  • “Create a dark mode version of this”
  • “Redesign with a split-panel layout”
  • “Apply the client feedback from Round 1”

Prompt States

Resolving Prompts

After the agent acts on a prompt, you can mark it as resolved. Resolved prompts show as faded/strikethrough. They stay in the thread for history.
