The Build Loop
The loop is simple:
- come up with a plan
- ask the agent to implement it
- wait for the implementation
- test it in the browser
- fix the issues you find
- repeat
Why this matters
Most AI-assisted builds feel chaotic because people skip the loop. They jump between random prompts, half-finished flows, and assumptions that were never checked in the browser.
The rule for each pass
- keep the slice small
- verify it in the browser
- use the bug evidence to drive the next fix
- do not treat one pass as the final pass
What to hand back into the loop
When something breaks, give the agent:
- the route
- the user state
- the exact error text
- the screenshot
- the behavior you expected instead
What success looks like
The loop is working when each pass produces either a verified improvement or a clearer bug report, not more vague uncertainty.
