Break a build into steps that each run
Every step ends with something working, and the irreversible decisions come first.

Break what I am building into small steps. Rules: 1. ***Something has to work at the end of every step.*** **No step that produces a screen with nothing behind it.** 2. Step 1 is the simplest possible form. One feature, one screen. 3. Per step: - What now works - **How to check it** - The request to send the AI (**copy-pasteable**) 4. **If a step is too big, split it.** Too big means it will not finish in one request. 5. ***Put the hard-to-reverse decisions early*** (data structure, authentication). 6. Keep a separate list of what comes later and what can be skipped. 7. **Mark the steps likely to stall me at my level given below**.
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (My level · What I want to build · Tools)
What this prompt does
Steps that only produce scaffolding hide whether anything works. This keeps each step runnable and front-loads the decisions you cannot undo.
