DAY 2
SESSION 01

Project Planning
with AI

From Raw Ideas to PROJECT.md — Codex-Driven Planning Documents (6 Hours / 360 Mins)

01 Idea ➔ Problem Definition
02 User Flow · Screens · Data
03 PROJECT.md & HANDOFF
Day 2 Core Principle
Today's Guiding Principle
Day 2
Build one complete end-to-end user flow before adding more features.
  • MVP Definition: Not a feature-depleted product, but the minimum build needed to test your core business hypothesis.
  • Day 2 Constraint: Zero application coding. 100% focus on specification documentation and requirements scoping.
  • Deliverable: The completed `PROJECT.md` becomes the authoritative guide for Day 3 Antigravity development.
Lecture 5.1
Ideas vs. Problems: Finding the Difference
Day 2
❌ Idea-Centric Approach

"I want to build an AI-powered travel planner app."

→ Starts from solution. Target customer and pain point remain ambiguous.

✅ Problem-Centric Approach

"Solo travelers in their 20s-30s spend over 2 hours creating daily itineraries."

→ Persona + Context + Core Pain Point + Desired Outcome.

Problem Definition Formula: [Target Persona] experiences [Pain Point] during [Context], resulting in [Friction/Cost].
Lecture 5.2
Target Persona & Core Value Proposition
Day 2
1
Target Persona Definition

Specify clear characteristics (e.g., Early-stage founders lacking developer resources, Freelance designers managing invoices).

2
Core Value Proposition

What single transformation does the user experience? (e.g., Reduce 2 hours of manual planning to a 3-minute AI workflow).

  • Key: Focus on 1 primary persona and 1 core value proposition for MVP success.
Lecture 5.3
End-to-End User Flow & Feature Scoping
Day 2
1. Landing / Input
2. Processing / AI Gen
3. Result View
4. Save / Share Action
MVP Golden Rule: 3 to 4 core screens maximum. Every screen must serve the primary conversion flow.
Lecture 6.1
Text-Based Wireframing in Markdown
Day 2

Describing UI hierarchy clearly in Markdown allows AI coding agents to produce clean HTML grids without Figma.

  • Header: Logo, navigation tags, theme toggle
  • Main Hero: Headline, description, input box
  • Results Section: Card grid, data badges, copy buttons
+-----------------------------------+
| [Logo] AI Trip Planner [Theme] |
+-----------------------------------+
| "Enter destination & duration" |
| [ Tokyo, Japan ] [ 3 Days ] [Go] |
+-----------------------------------+
| Day 1: Shibuya / Shinjuku [Copy] |
