Reflection 3

A facilitation guide for the team debrief following Run 3. These questions are designed to spark discussion — not every question needs to be covered. Pick the ones that resonate with what you observed during the run.

What You Built

  • What's the most ambitious feature your team added in this run? What made you choose that direction?
  • Did the snowpack data or condition-specific recommendations change how the field guide feels to use? What's the difference between a field guide that shows generic information and one that responds to today's actual conditions?
  • Is there something in your field guide right now that you'd genuinely find useful if you were heading into the backcountry tomorrow?

What You Practiced

  • Think about the house-sitter note from Lift 3. Did your project context file actually change how you worked in this run? How did starting a fresh conversation feel compared to Run 2, when AI didn't know your project?
  • Did you update your context file during the run as your project grew? If you did, what triggered the update? If you didn't, what would you add now?
  • Lift 3 talked about the "table of contents, not the whole book" principle. Looking at your context file now, is it still short and focused — or has it started to bloat? What's the right amount of information to include?
  • Did your team ever disagree about what should go in the context file? How did you decide? Think of the context file as a team agreement about how AI should work on your project — does that change what you'd put in it?

How You Worked

  • Did your team's working style change across the three runs? Think about Run 1 (chat, learning to prompt), Run 2 (real environment, real data), and Run 3 (context in place, building fast). What shifted?
  • Was there a moment in this run where one teammate's idea took the project in a direction nobody else had considered?

Looking Ahead

  • Your field guide is real, data-driven, and genuinely useful — but right now it only lives in your workspace. If you could share it with anyone, who would you want to see it? What would need to happen to get it in front of them?
