Question

Ticket: "Users should get notified when their report is ready." That's all it says. The system is a Python service that generates reports asynchronously. Break this vague ticket into agent-sized steps with checkpoints, and call out the decisions you must make as a human BEFORE the agent can build anything, because they change the whole shape of the work.

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.

Run or narrate your approach, then ask the coach.
