# Start from a prompt

> Describe a project and continue the build in FixCodeNow Chat.

Use this workflow when you have an idea but no existing repository to deploy.

## Start the project

1. Open [ship.fixcodenow.com](https://ship.fixcodenow.com).
2. Select **Prompt**.
3. Describe the software you want and its important behavior.
4. Click **Continue**.
5. Sign in if prompted.

FixCodeNow opens Chat and sends your prompt. Keep the conversation open while the project is created and deployed.

## Write a useful prompt

State what the project should do, what data it should keep, and which parts must be public.

```text theme={null}
Ship a small issue tracker with email login, projects, issues, comments,
and persistent Postgres data. Make the web app public.
```

Do not include passwords, tokens, or API keys in the prompt. Add required secrets through the project controls when FixCodeNow asks for them.

## After it ships

Open **Projects** to see the project status, services, health, architecture, recent activity, and public URL. Use **Change project** to continue work in Chat.

See [Manage a project](/manage).
