01What do you need, and what should you keep?
One problem you want to solve.
The draft retains your users, problem and test.
02What will this step help you do?
Name one problem so AI knows what to help you build.
Understand it, then judge for yourself
What does this concept mean?
Write users, problem and a practical success check.
How would you decide in a different situation?
Whose problem does this solve?
See a reference answer
Name real users, their difficulty and the changed outcome; a platform alone is not a goal.
Answer in your own words; if unsure, compare the explanation above and check it against your own project.
03What exactly should you do in this step?
OpenClose
In the draft on this page
Find “07 Material for this step” and the “Make this template personal” text box below. Keep all four questions and replace only the bracketed guidance with your answers. Start with “Who will use this project”, such as yourself.OpenClose
Afterwards, you should see: The first question contains your user and the other questions remain.
In the same box, find the question about the problem the project should solve. Describe the current difficulty and what you want to do with the finished project.OpenClose
Afterwards, you should see: A concrete flow, such as enter notes, save them and find them later.
Describe how you will test success, then click Confirm and generate my idea. Put “none” for later features if unnecessary.OpenClose
Afterwards, you should see: The draft retains your users, problem and test.
Practice: personal journal (frontend + backend + database)
Use the same learning-journal project throughout this example. For your own project, compare applicable requirements without creating another project.
Write your own goal: record what you learned and find it after closing the page and restarting. This practice is for personal local use.
- What should you see after this step?
- You can describe writing, saving and finding a record.
- What should you do first if you get stuck?
- Use one thing learned today as test content, not as fabricated acceptance evidence.

Project brief ↗
A description of goals, users, problems, and success conditions.
Describe occupants, rooms, and budget before renovating.
Acceptance criteria ↗
Observable conditions used to accept completed work.
Instead of “fast service,” require a collection number after payment.
06How should you handle a problem here?
OpenClose
I only know I want a website
- Where should you look to understand the problem?
- Think of one repetitive task from today.
- Follow these steps to resolve the problem
- Write just one real difficulty and mark the rest undecided.
- Expected recovery
- The draft identifies a user and an observable result. Other fields may remain undecided.
Edit the template with actual material, confirm, then copy into the current project conversation. Mark unknowns as undecided and replace examples as needed.
Confirmed · personalized content ready to copy
I am at “Write down the idea”. Expected: The draft says who will use the project, what problem it solves for them, and how to check that it works as intended. Plans for a second phase may be none or undecided. Once confirmed, the draft stays in this browser and can be copied.. Actual screen/error: [add here]. Inspect existing files first. Give one reversible action at a time, its location, and expected result. Do not recreate the project or delete existing work.07Material for this step (fill or copy)
OpenClose
Fill your own material below, confirm it and check the result. Follow the actions above for when to give it to your tool. If reopening shows only the editor, review and confirm again to copy.
Journal practice: fill or supplement this step
Use this as guidance for filling the template with your real information. Never copy example acceptance, costs, paths or test results.
Project: personal learning journal. User: myself. Version one: enter title and body, save in a backend database and read history. No login, sharing, editing or deletion yet.
08Check this before continuing
The draft says who will use the project, what problem it solves for them, and how to check that it works as intended. Plans for a second phase may be none or undecided. Once confirmed, the draft stays in this browser and can be copied.
09What should you do if the expected result is missing?
OpenClose
Start with a recent problem you personally faced.
Compare with an example (illustration, not your result)
Who will use this project: club members. Problem: chat signups get lost. Pass: submit and see a reservation; repeating it does not reserve twice.

Stuck? Start with what actually happens
2 situationsThese paths synthesize official docs and public reports, not frequency data. Check the symptom and verify the result.
Complete personal notes first; save the prompt for the next discussion.
The idea is only a slogan
Observed symptom: “Build a management system” does not explain a real use.
- What should you check first?
Identify the person, current workaround, and one frustrating episode.
- Then resolve
Personally write the person, situation, task, difficulty, and visible outcome. Defer technology; use the prompt in the next discussion step.
- Verify the result
Three sentences describe one person completing one task.
Edit the template below and confirm to prepare a copyable draft. Use it as directed by this step; sending it to AI is not required.

I am blocked at: The idea is only a slogan.
Project and tool: [name, version, and project path]
Observed behavior: [steps, exact error, or screenshot; remove secrets and personal data]
Expected result: [actual goal]
First inspect: Identify the person, current workaround, and one frustrating episode.
Proposed approach: Personally write the person, situation, task, difficulty, and visible outcome. Defer technology; use the prompt in the next discussion step.
Explain the evidence and cause before making the smallest relevant fix. Preserve existing changes and do not add features. If I must act, give one precise action at a time and its expected visible result.
Success criteria: Three sentences describe one person completing one task.

Existing material is scattered
Observed symptom: Images, spreadsheets, and notes are scattered; AI must guess the business.
- What should you check first?
Separate real material, personal assumptions, and illustrative examples.
- Then resolve
Create idea.md with a material list and purpose; redact sensitive data. Label examples “For example” and preserve unknowns.
- Verify the result
Each material has a purpose, and unknowns remain explicit.

Material stays in this browser, not in project files or AI chat. Chinese and English template drafts are separate; project selection and progress are shared. Do not enter passwords or API keys here.
Includes idea, progress, template drafts, personal checks and selection conditions, but not project code. Restore creates a new draft and preserves existing projects.
