🪵 Build Log – July 28, 2025

Three small but real milestones today in my LLM-driven dev workflow. I built and tested the following features — all without writing any code by hand:

1. Prompt Runner
   Executes a saved prompt and stores the result in a file. This is the base primitive for triggering any structured behavior.
2. Branch Creator
   Creates a new development branch for a given feature in LLM Core. Useful for isolating work and mirroring conventional dev workflows.
3. Branch Committer
   Commits all tracked changes to the current branch, with an auto-generated commit message (still basic — will improve).

All of these were implemented using my repeatable system inside Cursor: write a plan, feed it through a series of structured prompts, run audits, and review the result. I’m acting more like a product manager than an engineer — defining behavior, verifying correctness, and adjusting when things go off spec.

This matches how I’ve always built prototypes — just enough to test ideas and hold together until “real engineers” take over. What’s new is how far LLMs can now push that line, letting me stay in product/problem space longer without giving up working software.

Still being careful about trust boundaries (e.g. hallucinated APIs, misuse of sensitive data). But the pace and clarity of development is genuinely encouraging.
