The prompt is the easy 10% of an AI tool. The other 90% is the part nobody screenshots: validating the output, catching malformed JSON, deciding what to do when the model is confidently wrong. A demo is a good prompt. A product is everything you build around a bad one.

No new tool shipped today. I posted, kept the automation running, fixed what broke, and showed up. The people who last at building in public aren't the ones with the most launches. They're the ones still here on the quiet days when nothing ships. Consistency IS the work.
