What you'll take away

  • Start with a "grill me" session: the agent interviews you, one question at a time, until you both agree on what you're building.
  • Turn that into a short product document, then split it into small, separate tasks with the order they have to happen in.
  • Keep each task small. Models get worse as their context fills, well before the advertised limit.
  • Let the agent work through the tasks on its own, test first, then review its work in a fresh session.
