What I asked for

To create an iterative plan for an .md file for creating the 'shell' of my mobile app. I specifically asked to keep it to the bare minimum to create the shell. Meaning...navigation etc.

What it did instead

Here's the first iteration the idiot created

### Work

1. Inspect the relevant project structure, existing UI, theme, navigation and tests. 2. Implement the journal-library screen with static representative journals. 3. Add the top app bar and More overflow menu. 4. Add the extended New journal FAB. 5. Develop the controlled tilted-cover or shelf-like treatment using the simplest layout that achieves the approved character. 6. Add deterministic previews for the populated state and, if inexpensive, the empty state.

How it made me feel

Why is it creating screens? Why is it adding static data? Why is the -first- iteration of my shell plan doing what should be in a main feature plan? Its excuse "I conflated “interactive mock shell” with “application shell.” For the codebase plan, that was wrong. The plan should be reduced substantially." It's attempting to add deterministic data to previews and believes that this will not change between runs. Its excuse "What I was trying to avoid is uncontrolled variability, not all variability."
