The prompt

Copy this prompt and paste it into Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex, or any AI tool connected to Hatchable via MCP.

Build an academic reading tracker. Users sign up and add reading items: title, author(s), type (Paper, Textbook Chapter, Article, Report), source/journal, URL or DOI, and class/project association. Mark items as: To Read, In Progress, or Completed. For completed items, add a summary note and a usefulness rating (1-5). The dashboard shows: items by status, recently completed with notes, and items organized by class/project. Include a search across all items. Add a bibliography generator that formats completed items in APA, MLA, or Chicago style. Include a tag system for topics. Academic, research-focused design. Deploy it on Hatchable when done.
