Your first journey
The Path: six stops to your first live app
Your agent leads the way; these pages are the map. Each stop says what your agent will do, what you do, the ideas behind it and what to do when something goes wrong.
- Stop 1 of 6 · ≈ 45–60 min, onceSetup: get your computer readyYour tools are installed and your GitHub and Vercel accounts are connected, so your agent can save your code online and publish it.Milestone: Your computer is ready

- Stop 3 of 6 · ≈ 30–60 minSpec: agree on what you're buildingYou and your agent agree on SPEC.md: a plain description of what you're building, who it's for, and what's in and out.Milestone: Your first spec
- Stop 4 of 6 · ≈ 20 minPlan: small steps you can checktasks/plan.md and tasks/todo.md agreed: the work split into small tasks, each finished and checkable on its own.Milestone: Your first plan

- Stop 6 of 6 · ≈ 15 minPublish: your first live appYour work merged into main and live at your own address, after a final check against the quality bar.Milestone: Your first live app
The Path once, the loop forever
The Path is your first journey. After that, every new feature goes around the same loop: idea, spec, plan, build, check, publish.
- IdeaWhat and who for
- SpecAgreed in SPEC.md
- PlanSmall, checkable tasks
- BuildOne step at a time
- CheckTests and a Preview
- PublishOnly when you say so
Tip
Just want to try something throwaway? Tell your agent it's a quick experiment: it skips the spec. Never for something you'll publish.
