Build Prompt

Copy this prompt into Claude Code

Build a static HTML content calendar planner. Dark theme: background #0a0a0f, surfaces #12121a, borders #1a1a2a, accent #e11d48. All data stored in localStorage — no backend. Layout: Month/week toggle view at top. Month view shows a standard calendar grid; week view shows a 7-column layout with time slots. Each day cell can hold multiple content items displayed as colored chips by platform. Content item fields: title, platform (Blog/Email/Instagram/LinkedIn/TikTok/YouTube/Twitter), content type (Article/Video/Story/Reel/Newsletter/Thread/Podcast), status (Idea/Draft/In Review/Scheduled/Published), deadline date, assigned to, notes, pillar topic tag. Features: Click any day to open a modal and add/edit content items. Platform filter tabs across the top to show only one channel at a time. Status filter dropdown. Color-coded chips per platform: Blog=blue, Email=purple, Instagram=pink, LinkedIn=cyan, TikTok=red, YouTube=orange. Drag-and-drop items between days (use HTML5 drag API). "This week" quick-nav button. Monthly stats sidebar: posts per platform bar chart using inline SVG, total scheduled count, published vs draft ratio. Export button generates a CSV download of all planned items. Import button accepts CSV to bulk-load items. Seed 20 sample content items across the current month. Read the guide at https://accessagent.ai/api/guide and follow it to deploy the site to AccessAgent.ai. My email is [your@email.com].
