Build Prompt

Copy this prompt into Claude Code

Build a static HTML email subject line tester. Dark theme: background #0a0a0f, surfaces #12121a, borders #1a1a2a, accent #e11d48. Pure JavaScript — no backend or API calls. Main input: large text field for entering a subject line, "Analyze" button. Below, show a score dashboard with an animated circular score gauge (0–100), then individual metric cards in a 3-column grid. Score the subject line on these metrics (each 0–20 points): Length Score (30–50 chars = 20, 20–60 = 15, else lower), Power Words Score (detect words from a hardcoded list of 80+ power words: "exclusive", "free", "limited", "secret", "urgent", "proven", "instant", etc.), Personalization Score (detects {first_name}, "you", "your" tokens), Urgency Score (time words: "today", "now", "ends tonight", "last chance", "expires"), Spam Risk Score (inverted: penalizes ALL CAPS, excessive punctuation!!!, spam trigger words). Show detected power words highlighted in the subject line preview. Show a mobile inbox preview simulating how the subject looks on iPhone/Android with preheader text field. Show character counter with color coding: green (30–50), amber (51–60), red (60+). Multi-variant testing: "Add Variant" button lets users enter up to 5 subject lines. Side-by-side comparison table ranked by total score. "Winner" badge on highest scorer. History: Save last 20 tested subjects to localStorage with their scores. Show a history drawer. Include a "Top Tips" section showing the 3 lowest-scoring metrics and how to fix them. Read the guide at https://accessagent.ai/api/guide and follow it to deploy the site to AccessAgent.ai.
