Say what matters
Start with the user, the job, and the feeling. A good brief gives the agent a north star instead of a pile of disconnected requests.
Gabriel's first shipped app
A clear brief.
A live signal.
This is a tiny field note on building with an AI agent: describe the shape, review the output, keep the useful parts, and put the result somewhere real.

The useful part
The loop is the product.
Look at the result
Run it. Read it. Tap the buttons. The first pass is not precious; it is a surface you can respond to with evidence.
Make it real
Once the useful shape is there, ship it. A live URL turns a private experiment into something another person can actually experience.

- CTested the primary action at phone, tablet, and desktop widths.✓
Small apps are good teachers: every decision is close enough to inspect, and every shipped URL is honest feedback.
Proof of life
The signal is live.
This page is the artifact: a working, responsive app with a real deployment behind it.
