The Workbench on a Real Repo

Eleven lessons of surfaces are worth nothing if they do not survive contact with a real codebase. This lesson runs the same task twice on a small sample app: prompt-only versus workbench-guided. The numbers do the arguing.

#Learning Objectives

  • Bring the seven workbench surfaces together on a small application.
  • Run the same task twice (prompt-only and workbench-guided) and measure five outcomes.
  • Read the before/after report and decide which surfaces gave the most leverage.
  • Defend the workbench against a "but my model is good enough" pushback.
