Spec-driven vertical slicing: write the spec, list the questions, then build

Atom · refreshed Search related

A useful pattern for non-trivial UI work: write a 1-page design spec to disk (not chat), flag 3-5 specific decisions the user needs to make, recommend an answer for each, then execute in vertical slices that each compile and are preview-able. The spec lives at a project-standard path so it's reviewable and editable. Each slice is its own commit. The honest-verification report at the end separates what was actually verified (parse, references) from what couldn't be verified here (xcodebuild, simulator, visual layout) — and names the gaps so the user knows where to look.
