Question

You need a TypeScript function that parses a well-known, stable file format (say, a standard `.env` file) into a typed object, with a clear edge-case list you can enumerate up front. One engineer launches an agent to 'iterate until it handles all cases'; you think a single well-specified one-shot prompt will nail it. Argue your position and name the one thing that makes a one-shot the right call here.

What a strong answer looks like

Treat the AI’s output as a draft to verify, not an answer to trust. Name the specific flaw and the input that triggers it, say how you’d catch it — tests, edge cases, reading critically — and how you’d re-prompt or decompose to get it right.

Describe your solution

Vibe coding: describe the solution in plain language (or narrate it) and the coach grades your approach. Generating runnable code from your description is coming next.
