About this prompt

Codex designs two linked screens in separate files: a list of 12 items, each with cover, title, author and progress, topped by a search field and filter chips, and the detail screen that opens when you tap an item. Designing them together keeps an item looking the same in its row and in the full view.

Change the brackets to your app’s own list and detail pair: products and a product page, tasks and a task view, recipes and a recipe. Set the item count to what a real user would have and name your actual filter states. The closing line about realistic titles and numbers matters more than it looks; a very long title next to a book at 3% and another at 100% shows whether the row layout holds up.

Afterwards, check that going from list to detail would feel continuous: the same cover, title style and progress treatment in both files. The [Library] screen from this step is also what the empty, loading and error states prompt builds on, so get its normal state right first.
