Quickstart

A practical setup for your first productive session, from scoping to verification and handoff.

1. Prepare a tight task scope

  • Define one concrete outcome for the session.
  • State constraints up front (style, behavior, deadline, acceptance checks).
  • Attach only the files or references needed for that outcome.

Avoid scope stacking

Bundling unrelated tasks into one prompt increases drift and context waste. Split them into separate requests or sessions.

2. Run in short iterations

Ask for an initial pass, inspect output, and immediately follow with precise corrections. Short loops converge faster than one massive request.

Goal: Add account deletion confirmation with clear copy.
Constraints: Keep existing visual style.
Acceptance: Dialog blocks accidental deletes and shows final warning.

3. Close cleanly

  • Run your verification flow (tests, manual checks, UI pass).
  • Capture final notes and decisions while context is fresh.
  • Start a fresh session for the next objective.
