The Taste Loop: Reject Generic AI UI
Fast builders often produce the same rounded-card gradient look. Your job is to describe audience, density, tone, and real workflow until it feels specific.
- 1Name the job before naming the tool.
- 2Write the smallest useful scope the agent can finish.
- 3Run the result as a user, not as a fan of the tool.
- 4Inspect the diff, data access, and failure path before sharing.
Use this as the working prompt or checklist for the lesson.

- What data should the app or agent never expose?
- What test proves the change works?
- What rollback path exists if the output is wrong?
