The fastest generated implementation is useful only if you can maintain it. Work in a branch, describe one observable behavior, and provide the relevant project context. Choose an editor assistant or a guided app builder based on how much control you need. Require a clear explanation of changes and verify them with tests appropriate to the feature.
Follow the workflow
- 1
Write a bounded task contract
Use the task-contract prompt to specify the trigger, expected behavior, constraints and acceptance checks. Include relevant files and keep credentials out of the conversation.
- 2
Implement in an isolated branch
Ask the assistant to inspect existing patterns and make a focused change. Read the diff, check dependencies, and reject unrelated edits before proceeding.
- 3
Test the user journey
Run the applicable type checks and tests. Exercise success, empty and error states, then check the page at a narrow mobile width before merging or sharing.
Check before you finish
A passing build is not proof that the feature works. Reproduce the original issue, confirm the new behavior, and inspect authentication, input validation and error handling where relevant.
Common pitfalls
Do not run unfamiliar commands just because an assistant suggests them. Check destructive operations and dependency changes. Keep a rollback path for deployed changes.
