What is Guided Preflight?
The multi-step setup wizard BYOB runs before generating code: refining the prompt, identifying features, proposing UX direction, and choosing data options. Planning first is what separates coherent apps from random screens.

Preflight Plan
The setup pass before generation: refining the prompt, identifying features, proposing UX direction, and choosing data options. Planning first is what separates coherent apps from random screens.
Website Prompt
The plain-language brief you give an AI builder: outcome, audience, sections, style, and constraints. Specific first prompts beat vague ones every time.
Intent Classifier
The router that sorts requests into bugfix, UI-only, full-stack, or backend-only work before acting. Correct classification keeps small asks cheap and stops UI tweaks from triggering migrations.
Lucky Build (Autopilot)
The one-shot fast path that skips guided setup and generates directly from the prompt. Best for experiments and landing pages; guided preflight wins for anything with data or auth.
Pass-1 Build
The uninterruptible first generation surface: styles, layout, page, components, then validation. Letting pass one finish prevents half-built states that later edits have to repair.
Act Mode
The gear where BYOB edits files, connects services, runs checks, and moves the project forward. Chat Mode reasons and plans without touching files; Act Mode executes once decided.
