A — AI the One‑Pager (ruthless scope)

AI is best as a constraint enforcer. Use it to draft a one‑screen spec, then cut anything that doesn’t serve the single path.

One‑pager contents (must fit one screen)

• 6‑step user journey (one happy path)
• Minimal data model (entities + key fields only)
• Required UI only (screen + success state)
• 2 API stubs (POST /action, GET /status)
• Fake/stub plan (what you’ll mock or WoZ)
• 3 tests (happy, bad input, external failure mocked)
• Landing blurb (headline → value → CTA)
• Not‑Doing list

Example API stubs (Fastify)

// POST /action
app.post('/action', async (req, reply) => { /* validate input; enqueue work; return id */ });

// GET /status?id=...
app.get('/status', async (req, reply) => { /* return {{ id, state, result }} */ });

Not‑Doing list you’ll thank yourself for

• OAuth, teams, roles
• Fancy state machines
• “Nice to have” settings

Tip: If your one‑pager doesn’t fit a single screenshot, it’s not a one‑pager.
