Design Mock

The system represented visually before implementation, so the agent does not invent the interface.

In one sentence

A folder with the entire system represented visually and structurally before implementation: screens, flows, structure. It serves as a concrete reference for the agent to build without inventing the interface.

Before

Text description

What it does

System represented visually

After

The agent builds without inventing

Example

Before building the tracking dashboard, the mock/ folder had the three screens designed with sample data. The agent built from that. Without the mock, it would have invented a plausible interface, which is almost never what coordination needs.

In practice

  • Represent it before implementing, even if it is a photographed paper sketch.
  • Use realistic sample data. A mock with generic text produces an interface where the real content does not fit.
  • The mock serves as a reference and can be overridden, as long as the divergence is justified and recorded. Silent divergence is not acceptable.

How to make it tangible

A folder with the screens or structure drawn before implementation.
