From prompt to production app
Author: Mythos team
A launch checklist for generated apps: product path, auth, data, errors, deployment, and source ownership.
Treat the first pass as a draft
A generated app can reach a convincing preview quickly. That does not make it production-ready. The first pass is a draft that needs product review, data review, and deployment review.
Run the checks users will feel
Walk through signup, onboarding, the first object created, a failed form, an empty state, a mobile viewport, and a slow request. These are the places where generated polish can quietly break.
- Confirm auth redirects and protected pages behave correctly.
- Test empty, loading, error, and success states.
- Check that deployment reads the same environment variables as preview.
Inspect the source before launch
The repo should be understandable without the original prompt. Components, routes, and data utilities should have names a future engineer can reason about.
Generated code is ready to ship when it can be owned like normal code.
Keep the handoff simple
A production app should have a clean repo, clear deployment path, and a short note explaining the important product decisions. The less ceremony required to continue the work, the more useful the generator was.
