Spend your time where it matters most.
Give your agents a spec they can rough in. Concentrate on the details only you can make perfect.
The build runs one thought at a time — and all of it runs through you.
Every piece of intent gets dictated live, every step waits on you. Deep enough in the weeds, the original idea gets harder to see from where you're standing.
The agent can generate fast — but with nothing written down, your session goes to steering the basics into place, prompt by prompt.
The interaction that has to feel right, the edge case that decides trust — still waiting, while you supervise scaffolding.
The expensive part isn't the agent's time. It's yours.
Start with a spec. Brainstorm the idea with Claude — or whatever agent you work with — and use the /spec-it skill to turn the conversation into a document to load into DecisionGraph. Decompose it into the epics and stories your coding agent builds from, on a branch of your production code.
A mockup built in another tool requires re-engineering. A prototype built on your production code is made of real parts — your components, your schema, your constraints. Once approved, the structural work is already done. You start by reviewing and refining a working model, not building one from scratch — and nobody has to rebuild it somewhere else later.
Your code stays safe while you work. Nothing goes to waste.
Behavior, data, rules, edges — the intent, framing the complete idea, before the agent starts guessing.
A UI sketch or a marked-up screenshot — how it should look, when pictures say it better than words.
Every build has them: the interaction that has to feel right. The edge case that decides whether anyone trusts the product. The screen it will be judged by.
With the form already blocked in, the important details are where your focus lives. Not because you're disciplined — because the rough work stopped consuming your attention.
The spec didn't take you out of the work. It moved you to the part of the work that needs your judgment the most.
Spec in. Prototype out. Your code safe on its branch. DecisionGraph runs the rough work — so every hour you spend is a finishing stroke.
What survives the session is worth more than the session.
