A path through the work

Build a working system

Translate decisions into interfaces, reusable foundations and repeatable production.

Before you start

Choose one real project and identify who can approve decisions. Gather what you already know, note what is missing, and remove private information from shared examples. Follow the steps in order, or start with the part you need.

What you will leave with

A working foundation with clear inputs, owners and implementation boundaries.

  1. Which model can design a useful app?

    Nine Vlak apps, three models, and a hands-on design review. What ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok made—and what we’d change.

  2. Sequence prompts, then delegate

    Use a strong model to resolve the hard decisions, then give smaller agents clear, testable jobs.

  3. Vlak

    The open design system: interface components, patterns and implementation guidance.

  4. Brand guidelines template

    A reusable brand-book structure with visual examples and source fields.

  5. Brand guidelines workflow

    Turn approved identity decisions into a structured brand-guidelines page.

  6. Project setup workflow

    Specify a project’s repository, environment, integrations and access checks.

  7. Design-token sync workflow

    Plan how shared design tokens map between code and Figma.

Check the handoff

Can the next person explain the decision, find the source, and check the result? If not, fill in what is missing before starting the next step.
