v0 workflows
v0 can be used for technical planning and creating product requirements for tech stacks using Next.js and Vercel by converting high-level product requirements into actionable technical specifications. v0 can assist with breaking down complex features, generating API specifications, and designing database schemas.
v0 can help you create detailed product requirement documents (PRDs) that outline the technical specifications needed to build your project.
Begin by providing clear, structured information about your project, such as text, images, or code files. When prompting v0, give project details such as project type (web, mobile, API), key features, technical constraints, dependencies, and integrations.
v0 can help decompose complex product requirements into manageable technical components and implementation details, including identifying key features and technical requirements. v0 can also help you break down the requirements into smaller tasks for incremental implementation.
You can use v0 to design API specifications based on your product requirements. v0 is trained in creating route handlers in Next.js and can create boilerplate code for API routes, actual API implementations, and detailed specs on request formatting and requirements.
v0 can design high-level database schemas that align with your product
requirements. v0 typically generates these in
mermaid format as entity-relationship
diagrams.
Use an iterative process with v0 to create PDRs:
- Begin with broad product requirements
- Use v0 to create first-draft technical specs
- Identify gaps or issues in the generated specifications
- Provide feedback to v0 and request refinements
To create a tight feedback loop, you can ask v0 to validate its outputs based on requirements using the following prompts:
- Do the technical specifications address all the requirements outlined in the PRD?
- Given the project constraints, are the proposed technical solutions feasible?
- Are the technical specifications consistent with each other and existing systems?
- Are the specifications clear and unambiguous for the development team?
- Can the implementation of these specifications be effectively tested?
v0 is specifically trained on Vercel tools and frameworks, ensuring more accurate and relevant answers than generic AI models. You can ask v0 about:
- Next.js documentation
- Turborepo documentation
- Vercel documentation
- SvelteKit code examples
- AI SDK implementation questions
When prompting v0:
- Be specific about your context.
- Mention your framework version (e.g. Next.js 15 with App Router).
- Include relevant code snippets or error messages.
- Specify your deployment target (Vercel, self-hosted, etc.).
v0 can dive deeper into implementation details. Request code examples for abstract concepts and ask for alternative approaches or trade-offs then combine Q&A with code generation by starting with a conceptual question, then asking for implementation guidance, and finally requesting code generation.
The following examples show how to use v0 for different types of questions:
Conceptual question:
What's the best authentication strategy for a multi-tenant SaaS app?Architecture and design patterns:
What's the best way to structure a Next.js app with multiple user roles and permissions?Performance optimization:
How can I optimize my Next.js app's Core Web Vitals and reduce bundle size?Optimization:
How can I optimize my Next.js app's performance for large datasets?Troubleshooting:
Why is my Vercel deployment failing with a build error in my Turborepo setup?Best practices:
Should I use Server Actions or API routes for a form submission in Next.js 15?Was this helpful?
