AI can generate software. These gates make it a product.

Frontend taste is table stakes — slop leaks in at every phase: fuzzy specs, missing states, dishonest APIs, unscoped queries, launches with no floor. This is the full-lifecycle library we run our own product work on: pick how you build, where you are, and your stack — get the skill (paste it into your agent) and the gate (the checklist the phase must pass).

1 · Find your skill

Pick the phase you're in (or search). ★ marks the Essential 10 — adopt those first.

2 · Read the anatomy

Smells spot the problem · the gate blocks it · “prove it” is the test that it's really fixed.

3 · Automate it

Copy the prompt into your agent as a standing instruction — or copy the whole pack at once.

Phases run once, in order, each with a hard exit gate. Right for contracts, compliance, and fixed bids.
