A local-first desktop app built with a workflow designed for AI coding agents: explicit specs, constrained changes, and fast feedback loops.
Context
Sheeter is a lightweight desktop cheatsheet viewer. It helps teams keep snippets, commands, and reference material close at hand—especially when working in AI-assisted coding sessions.
The challenge
Agent-assisted development can move fast, but only if the project structure is unambiguous:
- Clear conventions so agents don’t invent patterns
- Concrete acceptance criteria to avoid “almost right” output
- Tight boundaries so changes stay local and reviewable
What we changed (workflow)
- A “contract” (
AGENTS.md) describing precedence rules and constraints - Issue prompts written as self-contained implementation briefs (files, rules, acceptance criteria)
- Spec-first docs (technical requirements, blueprint, milestone plan) as the source of truth
What shipped
- Local-first file registration (reference-in-place)
- Fast search + navigation, with one-click snippet copy
- Cross-platform desktop foundations (Tauri + React + TypeScript)
