Chapter 2 of 15 · Plan

Structure your idea into a clear specification

Your app boots and does nothing at all, which is exactly the right moment to decide what it should do. If you have built with AI before, you have watched it confidently ship the wrong thing, and that is just the AI having too much room to guess. Before it writes a feature, we pin the idea down so it has nothing left to invent.

By the end of this part, you can:

  • Turn a vague idea into a written spec your agent can build from
  • Cut your feature list down to an MVP you can actually finish
  • Name your app's pieces and map how its data fits together
  • Hand your agent a plan tight enough that it stops guessing
