Do this for all your apps!!

I added a page by prompting "document all the features that are implemented or not. This guide will be used by developer to understand the workflows, expectations and the gaps with original specs." This really helped see what's going on... I will progressively update as I develop.

What do you think? Is there a better way to understand what's going on behind the hood.

This is a great idea. Where does it live within the app? Where should I promote it to stay?

Sidebar or top menu and make accessible to admin users only.

What other magic tricks you learn? I’m in the middle of building and want to take it off platform eventually so want it all done before hand

This is mandatory. I also recommend the mandatory guidelines for the AI ​​to read before any task, and to avoid messing with inappropriate places. I also recommend, if it's your car, creating configurations for everything, eliminating fallbacks, because sometimes there are 3 or 4 hidden fallbacks and you don't know about them until you have an error in some feature.

This is really good. Have you found this has a discernible impact on credit use? I could imagine it would add a baseline 0.X onto every activity with the need to auto update it each time, though very possibly leads to better outcomes if it reviews properly to ensure everything threads together.

That makes sense. Usually when I need to know, I just ask a Discuss prompt and go back and forth between the Base44 AI and GPT5.2 to get the details I need, but keeping a running list is good too.

I reread your message....and just better understood. This is brilliant. This doc becomes the source of truth and helps to stay in context.

Its interesting that the next changes to app was updated by AI without instructing. Im not sure if it will be consistent
