Build Prompt

Copy this prompt into Claude Code
Build a static HTML used laptop tracker. Dark theme with background #0a0a0f, surfaces #12121a, borders #1a1a2a, accent color #0ea5e9 (sky blue). Data from inline `const LAPTOPS = [...]`, `const PRICE_HISTORY = [...]`, `const LAST_UPDATED = "..."`. Each laptop has: id, model, brand (Lenovo/Apple/Dell/HP), series (ThinkPad X1/MacBook Pro/Latitude), price, marketValue, valueDealPercent, specs (processor, ram, storage, screenSize, year), condition (Refurbished/Excellent/Good/Fair), source (eBay/Amazon Renewed/BackMarket/Swappa), sourceUrl, sellerRating, location, image (emoji). Layout: Header with "Used Laptop Deals" and search, "Last updated" badge. Tabs: All / ThinkPads / MacBooks / Budget (<$300) / Premium ($500+). Filter sidebar: brand, max price range slider, min RAM, min storage, year range. Laptop grid (list view default, grid toggle): each card shows model, specs badges (RAM/SSD), price with market value comparison, value score bar (%), condition badge, source badge, "View Deal" link. Sort: Best Value, Lowest Price, Newest Listed, Best Specs. Detail modal: full specs table, price vs market value chart, similar models. Add buying guide section: "How to choose a used ThinkPad" with recommended models by budget. Footer: "Prices checked every 4 hours". SEO: title, meta description, OG tags, JSON-LD Product schema for each listing. Seed 12 laptops across brands and price ranges. Add cron setup instructions in a comment at the bottom: `<!-- Schedule: Run 'claude -p "Research current used ThinkPad and MacBook prices on eBay, BackMarket, Swappa. Update LAPTOPS array with best deals. Redeploy."' via crontab every 4 hours -->`. Read the guide at https://accessagent.ai/api/guide and follow it to deploy the site to AccessAgent.ai.
