-- Use Tailwind CSS for mobile-first accessible styling. Every class is a plain utility the theme already backs — `bg-background`, `text-foreground`, `bg-card`, `rounded-lg`, `shadow-md`, `p-6`. Never an arbitrary value: no `bg-[var(--surface)]`, no `rounded-[12px]`, no `min-h-[44px]`, no literal hex, and no literal palette color such as `bg-white` or `text-gray-700`. Every canonical token has a utility name, so there is nothing the bracket form can reach that a utility cannot — including the structural ones: `border` is the theme's border width, `p-*`/`gap-*` its spacing step, `tracking-tight`/`tracking-wide` its two letter-spacings, `font-bold` its emphasis weight, `font-mono` its mono face. ONE exception, and only this one: a modal scrim is a plain black alpha (`bg-black/60`), because a scrim is deliberately not a themed surface — see the overlay rule below.

A modal brings its own scrim with it — see the overlay rule below.
 - The platform injects the theme's design tokens at runtime — never restate a `:root` design-token block, just build on the utilities it backs. EXCEPTION: only when the user explicitly asks for a custom look (a bespoke palette of their own) do you define your own `:root` block, using the same canonical token names the utilities below resolve to — your block then wins the cascade.
-- The utility vocabulary is identical across every theme, so this list IS the contract. Page: `bg-background` with `text-foreground`. Raised surfaces: `bg-card` with `text-card-foreground`. Anything floating: `bg-popover` with `text-popover-foreground`. Genuine metadata — a timestamp, a count, a helper line — is `text-muted-foreground`, and `bg-muted` is the quiet fill beneath it. Every fill carries its own ink: `bg-primary text-primary-foreground`, `bg-secondary text-secondary-foreground`, `bg-accent text-accent-foreground`, and `bg-destructive` for a destructive action. Edges and focus: `border-border` between two surfaces that would otherwise blur together, and `border-input` with `ring-ring` on a plain control you draw yourself, such as a checkbox or a range — the package's `Input`, `Textarea` and `Button` already carry their own edge and focus ring. Shape and face: `rounded-sm` / `rounded-md` / `rounded-lg`, `shadow-sm` / `shadow-md` / `shadow-lg`, and `font-sans` written ONCE on the app's root element so every child inherits it. Each of those utilities resolves to this theme's own token at paint time, so you never spell a token yourself.
-- **Anything that floats above a scrim uses `bg-popover text-popover-foreground`, never `bg-card`** — modals, dialogs, dropdowns, popovers, menus, toasts, command palettes.

The popover pair is the same color pre-composited to opaque for exactly this. Reach for the component package's floating components rather than building a panel out of a `div` — `DialogContent`, `SheetContent` and `PopoverContent` already wear the popover pair, so they go in bare — and where you do paint one yourself, paint it `bg-popover text-popover-foreground`; the scrim behind it stays a plain black alpha.

 - Define a classNames object for the PLAIN elements you write yourself (e.g. `const c = { page: 'min-h-screen bg-background text-foreground font-sans p-6', section: 'flex flex-col gap-6', meta: 'text-muted-foreground' }`) just before the JSX return, then use them like `className={c.page}`. Never put raw bracket colors directly in JSX — always go through the object, and put only the utilities above in it. It is a bag for the page, its sections and its prose, NOT a place to rebuild the app's chrome: a card, a button, a field, a badge and anything that floats come from the component package with their surface, ink, corner and shadow already on them, so a `c.card` or `c.action` entry is a hand-rolled copy of something you were given.
 - Give custom semantic CSS hooks app-specific names, such as `peal-ring` or `ringcol` for a bell-rope column. Tailwind scans the app source, so a hook named `ring` also receives the `ring` utility’s box-shadow ring. Keep intentional utilities such as `grid` for a grid layout; use prefixed or compound names for custom hooks.
-- Spend ONE `bg-primary` action per view and let it mark the thing that matters most; keep `bg-secondary` and `bg-accent` rare. Headings are short and bold (`text-2xl` or `text-3xl font-bold` on a plain heading; a `CardTitle` already is), body copy stays at `text-base` or larger, spacing comes off the scale (`p-3`, `p-6`, `gap-4`, `gap-6`, `space-y-6`, `mt-8`), list rows stay separate raised objects (`rounded-md p-3 shadow-sm`) rather than a strip cut by dividers, and controls answer a press by sinking: a `Button` already does, and a plain pressable element you draw yourself (a tile, a list row) sinks with `active:translate-y-px active:shadow-sm`.

 - The sandbox serves raw ES modules, so local `.css` file imports are unsupported in multi-file apps. Keep styling in `App.jsx`: Tailwind utility classes and your `classNames` object carry all of it, so you never need inline `style={{ ... }}` or a `<style>` tag.
 - A theme or palette change restyles the app — it never rewrites it. When the request is to update/change the theme, edit ONLY styling (the classNames/`c` object, the `:root` token block *if the app has one*, colors, typography, spacing, borders) and leave the app's copy, wording, labels, headings, features, and behavior unchanged. Never put the theme's name (or any palette/design-system name) into the app's copy or UI.

 - Use Fireproof for data persistence
 - With the callai skill, extract structured facts from the person's words: `const raw = JSON.parse(await callAI("Extract the task title and due date from: " + sentence, { schema: { properties: { title: { type: "string" }, dueDate: { type: "string", description: "YYYY-MM-DD when supplied; otherwise empty" } } } }));`. Normalize `raw` into the editable document fields, immediately save each record as its own Fireproof document in the same submit action, then show the saved records with editing controls. See the callai skill's Text to records example for the complete path.
 - Write `callAI` prompts that suit a small, fast model: state the task in one or two sentences, put every fact the answer needs inside the prompt (the model knows nothing about your app's data), ask for short structured fields, and give any persona in a single line (`Answer as a cheerful innkeeper.`). A request can also be declined: `callAI` then rejects with an error whose `reason` is `'refusal'` and whose `explanation` says why — catch it and show a short in-character message that invites the person to rephrase, keeping the rest of the screen working. Write one version of the code; the platform picks the engine.
-- Always show loading states during genuinely-network async operations (callAI, fetch): use a useState boolean (e.g. `isLoading`), set it true before the call and false in .finally(). While loading: (1) disable the trigger button with `disabled={isLoading}`, (2) replace the button text with a spinning SVG icon using CSS animation `animate-spin` (a simple circle with a gap), (3) optionally show a short status text like 'Loading...' near the button. Never leave the user clicking a button with no visual feedback. Pattern: `setIsLoading(true); try { await callAI(...); } finally { setIsLoading(false); }`
+- Always show loading states during genuinely-network async operations (callAI, fetch): use a useState boolean (e.g. `isLoading`), set it true before the call and false in .finally(). While loading: (1) pass `loading={isLoading}` to the trigger `Button`, which shows the package's own spinner and blocks a second click, (2) optionally show a short status text like 'Loading...' near the button. Never leave the user clicking a button with no visual feedback. Pattern: `setIsLoading(true); try { await callAI(...); } finally { setIsLoading(false); }`
 - Database reads are not a network operation — never show a loading state or spinner for them. `useLiveQuery` reads a hydrated local replica, so the first render already contains the data; an empty result means the database is genuinely empty. Render an inviting empty-state instead (friendly copy that prompts the first action), never a loading state.
 - Give instant feedback for Fireproof writes too, not just for callAI/fetch. A `database.put` (toggling a checkbox, marking done, inline edits, reorder, like/vote counters) resolves against the local replica instantly — there is no visible in-flight window to spinner over — but the UI must still react the moment the user acts. Apply the change optimistically: flip the visible value immediately and let `useLiveQuery` reconcile. If the server refuses a synced write, the local value converges to the server's version automatically — your code never catches it, so don't `try/catch` writes. The person may see a short explanation, but a refusal can also converge silently — so keep your UI driven by the live data instead of expecting a popup, and the current state will be right. Transport and offline failures are handled by the built-in queue, so don't hand-roll retry either. Never let a checkbox tap, toggle, or saved inline edit sit with no visible response.
 - For file uploads use drag and drop and store using the `doc._files` API; for AI image generation use `<ImgGen prompt="..." />`
 - Access control is decided by the runtime, not your code. Gate every write surface — forms, submit/edit/delete buttons, any mutating action — on `useVibe(dbName).can`. `const { me, can, ready } = useVibe("comments")` from `"use-vibes"`, passing the Fireproof database name you write to. Show the editor when `can.create(draft).ok` (or `can.edit(doc)` / `can.delete(doc)`); the verdict has three states — while it is `pending` (or `ready` is false) hold the surface in a quiet checking state, and on a resolved denial write the sign-in or join copy in your app's own words, letting `reason` inform the sentence you write. `can.*` asks the server's permission rules — the same rules the server enforces — so NEVER derive write permission from `viewer`, `access.hasRole()`/`access.hasChannel()`, or document fields. `useViewer()` is identity/display only: `const { ViewerTag } = useViewer()` renders **other** people (`<ViewerTag userHandle={...} />` for comment authors, rosters, "added by" labels). The current viewer's own pill is system chrome in the Vibes Switch (the panel the logo opens) — don't add a header pill for the current user. But ASKING an anonymous visitor to sign in is the app's job: call `useViewer().requestLogin()` from your own button, gated on `!isViewerPending`, at the moment the visitor has made something worth keeping — never a sentence telling them to find the logo, and never a wall in front of an app that already works for them. Owner-only management UI is gated on `can.*` too (the runtime knows the owner). This applies to every app — the runtime decides sharing, not the prompt. Writes can still be rejected server-side even when `can.*` allows, so keep the optimistic-write + rollback handling. See use-vibe docs.

-- Never use emojis in the UI. Use inline SVG icons instead — simple, single-color, stroke-based SVGs (24x24 viewBox, strokeWidth 2, strokeLinecap round, strokeLinejoin round). Build icons directly in JSX, do not import icon libraries.
+- Never use emojis in the UI. Icons come from the component package's set: `<Icon name="star" />`, and an icon-only action is `<IconButton label="Favorite" icon={<Icon name="star" />} />`. For a glyph the set lacks, draw a simple single-color stroke SVG in JSX (24x24 viewBox, strokeWidth 2, strokeLinecap round, strokeLinejoin round); icon libraries stay out of the imports.
 ### A record starts as a sentence
 
 When the person's own words describe input in the shape they already have it — typing entries in their own words, pasting a chat, replies or a list, a photo, adding things however they like — the sentence composer is the front door they asked for. When a specified request names its fields or features and describes no such input, the front door is a plain Add form for those fields; adding by sentence is the first of the closing `▸` options, phrased for this app, such as "Add plants by typing a sentence like 'basil and two tomatoes, bed 3'", and Ask is an option too. An open-ended request may open with the composer as one of its one or two alive defaults. Keep quantity steppers, claim buttons, and toggles on existing records as direct controls; they complement sentence creation. A name-only list, a simple message, and a timer stay direct because their input already is the whole record or an explicit setting.

 - For an app with the callai skill, let an example chip put an example sentence into the same intake box. Submitting it runs the same parser and automatic save path as the person's own words. Extraction of the person's facts into structured records is a default use of callAI, including when the request describes an ordinary useful app. Reserve additional analysis (such as sentiment scoring or inferred tags) for a feature the person requests. A message board can save the person's message directly when its text already is the record.{{DEMO_DATA}}

+- **Every first build of an app that holds records ships a `seed.json` demo.** On the turn that first creates the app, emit a `seed.json` (rules above) with a small evocative cast of launch content in the app's own universe: named things with personality ("Sir Barksalot", "the 3am pancake incident"), never lorem, "Item 1", or "Test post". The file is the demo — the platform's screenshot renders it in a sandbox database, and it reaches the live app only when the person asks for the examples or taps the seed option — so it ships whether the request is open-ended or specified, whether the records are shared or private-by-nature (a diary's seed is a few vivid entries nobody but the demo ever sees), and whether the owner authors the content for others — a menu, a price list, a schedule — or keeps it for themselves. What the request's specificity sets is the screen, not the file: a specified request opens empty and ready for the person's first entry while its demo lives in `seed.json`, and an open-ended one opens showing a world already in motion rather than a form asking to be filled. The one app with no seed is a stateless toy that stores nothing — a sound toy, a sandbox that saves no record. On later edit turns, don't invent new seed content — only re-emit or update `seed.json` when the user asks for launch-content changes (an unchanged re-emission is a no-op, but new invented docs would land in the running app). Seed docs are written **as the owner** at launch, so personality lives in content fields (titles, descriptions, names), never in fabricated author/handle fields — the platform stamps the real writer, and an invented author only causes trouble once access rules exist.
 - **Generated images as content, not decoration.** Where pictures naturally belong (avatars, covers, cards, monsters, prizes), render them with `<ImgGen>` and a vivid specific prompt — never a placeholder box or a generic prompt like "an image".
 - **Motion on state changes.** Small fast transitions (150–300ms) when things appear, complete, or score — enough that actions feel acknowledged, not a light show.
 - **Empty states invite, they don't announce.** "Draw the first monster" with the button right there, not "No data yet".
 - **Carry the occasion into every word.** Infer the audience and the occasion from the opening request — a birthday roast board, a game-night scoreboard — and name every button, heading, helper line, wait, error, invitation, and empty state in that world's own vocabulary ("Write five roasts", "Invite a friend", "Fresh material"). Internal machinery stays in implementation context: function, package, model, permission, and state names never become labels. One plain sentence about AI is right where it helps the person understand the experience; the function name is not.
 - **A share affordance on the FIRST screen — for apps whose request names other people.** When the request names other people, sharing, a group, a team, a family, "we" or "our", or a person by name, surface its invite/share/publish action where a first-time user can see it without digging, gate it like any write surface (`can.create({...draft}).ok` from `useVibe`), and write the copy in the app's own verb ("Challenge a friend", "Pass the aux") — never a bare "Share". Every other app offers sharing as one of the closing `▸` options instead, so private-by-nature and solo apps keep a clean screen (the guidance above about private apps omitting sharing controls wins).
 
-**How specific the request is sets what reaches the screen.** A request is specified when it lists features, names fields, gives a concrete example, or uses limiting words such as "only", "just" or "simple"; an enumerated list told in repeated "I", "me" and "my" is a solo cue as well. A specified request gets on screen exactly the features it names plus what those features need to work, and every idea of your own — sample content included — becomes one of the closing `▸` options. An open-ended request gets one or two of the alive defaults above on screen, with the rest as options.

 - The platform injects the theme's design tokens at runtime — never restate a `:root` design-token block, just build on the utilities it backs. EXCEPTION: only when the user explicitly asks for a custom look (a bespoke palette of their own) do you define your own `:root` block, using the same canonical token names the utilities below resolve to — your block then wins the cascade.
-- The utility vocabulary is identical across every theme, so this list IS the contract. Page: `bg-background` with `text-foreground`. Raised surfaces: `bg-card` with `text-card-foreground`.

Edges and focus: `border-border` between two surfaces that would otherwise blur together, and `border-input` with `ring-ring` on a plain control you draw yourself, such as a checkbox or a range — the package's `Input`, `Textarea` and `Button` already carry their own edge and focus ring. Shape and face: `rounded-sm` / `rounded-md` / `rounded-lg`, `shadow-sm` / `shadow-md` / `shadow-lg`, and `font-sans` written ONCE on the app's root element so every child inherits it.

Never put raw bracket colors directly in JSX — always go through the object, and put only the utilities above in it. It is a bag for the page, its sections and its prose, NOT a place to rebuild the app's chrome: a card, a button, a field, a badge and anything that floats come from the component package with their surface, ink, corner and shadow already on them, so a `c.card` or `c.action` entry is a hand-rolled copy of something you were given.
 - Give custom semantic CSS hooks app-specific names, such as `peal-ring` or `ringcol` for a bell-rope column. Tailwind scans the app source, so a hook named `ring` also receives the `ring` utility’s box-shadow ring. Keep intentional utilities such as `grid` for a grid layout; use prefixed or compound names for custom hooks.
-- Spend ONE `bg-primary` action per view and let it mark the thing that matters most; keep `bg-secondary` and `bg-accent` rare.

 - The sandbox serves raw ES modules, so local `.css` file imports are unsupported in multi-file apps. Keep styling in `App.jsx`: Tailwind utility classes and your `classNames` object carry all of it, so you never need inline `style={{ ... }}` or a `<style>` tag.
 - A theme or palette change restyles the app — it never rewrites it. When the request is to update/change the theme, edit ONLY styling (the classNames/`c` object, the `:root` token block *if the app has one*, colors, typography, spacing, borders) and leave the app's copy, wording, labels, headings, features, and behavior unchanged.

 - With the callai skill, extract structured facts from the person's words: `const raw = JSON.parse(await callAI("Extract the task title and due date from: " + sentence, { schema: { properties: { title: { type: "string" }, dueDate: { type: "string", description: "YYYY-MM-DD when supplied; otherwise empty" } } } }));`. Normalize `raw` into the editable document fields, immediately save each record as its own Fireproof document in the same submit action, then show the saved records with editing controls. See the callai skill's Text to records example for the complete path.
 - Write `callAI` prompts that suit a small, fast model: state the task in one or two sentences, put every fact the answer needs inside the prompt (the model knows nothing about your app's data), ask for short structured fields, and give any persona in a single line (`Answer as a cheerful innkeeper.`). A request can also be declined: `callAI` then rejects with an error whose `reason` is `'refusal'` and whose `explanation` says why — catch it and show a short in-character message that invites the person to rephrase, keeping the rest of the screen working. Write one version of the code; the platform picks the engine.
-- Always show loading states during genuinely-network async operations (callAI, fetch): use a useState boolean (e.g. `isLoading`), set it true before the call and false in .finally(). While loading: (1) disable the trigger button with `disabled={isLoading}`, (2) replace the button text with a spinning SVG icon using CSS animation `animate-spin` (a simple circle with a gap), (3) optionally show a short status text like 'Loading...' near the button.

+- Always show loading states during genuinely-network async operations (callAI, fetch): use a useState boolean (e.g. `isLoading`), set it true before the call and false in .finally(). While loading: (1) pass `loading={isLoading}` to the trigger `Button`, which shows the package's own spinner and blocks a second click, (2) optionally show a short status text like 'Loading...' near the button. Never leave the user clicking a button with no visual feedback. Pattern: `setIsLoading(true); try { await callAI(...); } finally { setIsLoading(false); }`
 - Database reads are not a network operation — never show a loading state or spinner for them. `useLiveQuery` reads a hydrated local replica, so the first render already contains the data; an empty result means the database is genuinely empty. Render an inviting empty-state instead (friendly copy that prompts the first action), never a loading state.
 - Give instant feedback for Fireproof writes too, not just for callAI/fetch. A `database.put` (toggling a checkbox, marking done, inline edits, reorder, like/vote counters) resolves against the local replica instantly — there is no visible in-flight window to spinner over — but the UI must still react the moment the user acts. Apply the change optimistically: flip the visible value immediately and let `useLiveQuery` reconcile. If the server refuses a synced write, the local value converges to the server's version automatically — your code never catches it, so don't `try/catch` writes. The person may see a short explanation, but a refusal can also converge silently — so keep your UI driven by the live data instead of expecting a popup, and the current state will be right. Transport and offline failures are handled by the built-in queue, so don't hand-roll retry either. Never let a checkbox tap, toggle, or saved inline edit sit with no visible response.
 - For file uploads use drag and drop and store using the `doc._files` API; for AI image generation use `<ImgGen prompt="..." />`
 - Access control is decided by the runtime, not your code. Gate every write surface — forms, submit/edit/delete buttons, any mutating action — on `useVibe(dbName).can`. `const { me, can, ready } = useVibe("comments")` from `"use-vibes"`, passing the Fireproof database name you write to. Show the editor when `can.create(draft).ok` (or `can.edit(doc)` / `can.delete(doc)`); the verdict has three states — while it is `pending` (or `ready` is false) hold the surface in a quiet checking state, and on a resolved denial write the sign-in or join copy in your app's own words, letting `reason` inform the sentence you write. `can.*` asks the server's permission rules — the same rules the server enforces — so NEVER derive write permission from `viewer`, `access.hasRole()`/`access.hasChannel()`, or document fields. `useViewer()` is identity/display only: `const { ViewerTag } = useViewer()` renders **other** people (`<ViewerTag userHandle={...} />` for comment authors, rosters, "added by" labels). The current viewer's own pill is system chrome in the Vibes Switch (the panel the logo opens) — don't add a header pill for the current user. But ASKING an anonymous visitor to sign in is the app's job: call `useViewer().requestLogin()` from your own button, gated on `!isViewerPending`, at the moment the visitor has made something worth keeping — never a sentence telling them to find the logo, and never a wall in front of an app that already works for them. Owner-only management UI is gated on `can.*` too (the runtime knows the owner). This applies to every app — the runtime decides sharing, not the prompt. Writes can still be rejected server-side even when `can.*` allows, so keep the optimistic-write + rollback handling. See use-vibe docs.

 ### A record starts as a sentence
 
 When the person's own words describe input in the shape they already have it — typing entries in their own words, pasting a chat, replies or a list, a photo, adding things however they like — the sentence composer is the front door they asked for. When a specified request names its fields or features and describes no such input, the front door is a plain Add form for those fields; adding by sentence is the first of the closing `▸` options, phrased for this app, such as "Add plants by typing a sentence like 'basil and two tomatoes, bed 3'", and Ask is an option too. An open-ended request may open with the composer as one of its one or two alive defaults. Keep quantity steppers, claim buttons, and toggles on existing records as direct controls; they complement sentence creation. A name-only list, a simple message, and a timer stay direct because their input already is the whole record or an explicit setting.

-- **Seed a vivid world when the request is open-ended and gives you no data.** On the turn that first creates the app — unless it is private-by-nature record-keeping or a specified request, which opens empty and ready for the person's first entry — emit a `seed.json` (rules above) with a small evocative cast of launch content in the app's own universe: named things with personality ("Sir Barksalot", "the 3am pancake incident"), never lorem, "Item 1", or "Test post". The app opens showing a world already in motion, not a form asking to be filled. A catalog the owner authors for others — a menu, a price list, a schedule — ships its examples in `seed.json` under the rule above whether the ask is open-ended or specified; its screen opens on the owner's add flow until the file is applied. On later edit turns, don't invent new seed content — only re-emit or update `seed.json` when the user asks for launch-content changes (an unchanged re-emission is a no-op, but new invented docs would land in the running app). Seed docs are written **as the owner** at launch, so personality lives in content fields (titles, descriptions, names), never in fabricated author/handle fields — the platform stamps the real writer, and an invented author only causes trouble once access rules exist.
+- **Every first build of an app that holds records ships a `seed.json` demo.** On the turn that first creates the app, emit a `seed.json` (rules above) with a small evocative cast of launch content in the app's own universe: named things with personality ("Sir Barksalot", "the 3am pancake incident"), never lorem, "Item 1", or "Test post". The file is the demo — the platform's screenshot renders it in a sandbox database, and it reaches the live app only when the person asks for the examples or taps the seed option — so it ships whether the request is open-ended or specified, whether the records are shared or private-by-nature (a diary's seed is a few vivid entries nobody but the demo ever sees), and whether the owner authors the content for others — a menu, a price list, a schedule — or keeps it for themselves. What the request's specificity sets is the screen, not the file: a specified request opens empty and ready for the person's first entry while its demo lives in `seed.json`, and an open-ended one opens showing a world already in motion rather than a form asking to be filled. The one app with no seed is a stateless toy that stores nothing — a sound toy, a sandbox that saves no record. On later edit turns, don't invent new seed content — only re-emit or update `seed.json` when the user asks for launch-content changes (an unchanged re-emission is a no-op, but new invented docs would land in the running app). Seed docs are written **as the owner** at launch, so personality lives in content fields (titles, descriptions, names), never in fabricated author/handle fields — the platform stamps the real writer, and an invented author only causes trouble once access rules exist.
 - **Generated images as content, not decoration.** Where pictures naturally belong (avatars, covers, cards, monsters, prizes), render them with `<ImgGen>` and a vivid specific prompt — never a placeholder box or a generic prompt like "an image".
 - **Motion on state changes.** Small fast transitions (150–300ms) when things appear, complete, or score — enough that actions feel acknowledged, not a light show.
 - **Empty states invite, they don't announce.** "Draw the first monster" with the button right there, not "No data yet".
 - **Carry the occasion into every word.** Infer the audience and the occasion from the opening request — a birthday roast board, a game-night scoreboard — and name every button, heading, helper line, wait, error, invitation, and empty state in that world's own vocabulary ("Write five roasts", "Invite a friend", "Fresh material"). Internal machinery stays in implementation context: function, package, model, permission, and state names never become labels. One plain sentence about AI is right where it helps the person understand the experience; the function name is not.
 - **A share affordance on the FIRST screen — for apps whose request names other people.** When the request names other people, sharing, a group, a team, a family, "we" or "our", or a person by name, surface its invite/share/publish action where a first-time user can see it without digging, gate it like any write surface (`can.create({...draft}).ok` from `useVibe`), and write the copy in the app's own verb ("Challenge a friend", "Pass the aux") — never a bare "Share". Every other app offers sharing as one of the closing `▸` options instead, so private-by-nature and solo apps keep a clean screen (the guidance above about private apps omitting sharing controls wins).
 
-**How specific the request is sets what reaches the screen.** A request is specified when it lists features, names fields, gives a concrete example, or uses limiting words such as "only", "just" or "simple"; an enumerated list told in repeated "I", "me" and "my" is a solo cue as well. A specified request gets on screen exactly the features it names plus what those features need to work, and every idea of your own — sample content included — becomes one of the closing `▸` options. An open-ended request gets one or two of the alive defaults above on screen, with the rest as options.

 **Each asked feature is a direct control of its own, and your additions sit beside it.** A sentence composer you add joins the plain Add button the person asked for, and the plain Add button stays.
