Make the win real.

Do not leave with a nice prompt and a folder full of potential. Run one real task, see the output, and write down what changed.

Your first run.

0/4proof steps

I opened Codex or Claude Desktop/Code.The builder is open and connected to the place I want it to work. My agent created the workspace.I can see the folder tree and the instruction file it made. It completed one real task.I used my own work, not just the example. I can find the output.The finished work is in my output folder and I know what to do next.

Capture the win

Write one sentence. This becomes your proof card and your reminder of what to build next.

Write the next small task you want this same assistant to own tomorrow.
