Why it matters
Coding agents are moving from autocomplete to doing whole tasks: reading a codebase, making a plan and changing many files. This case is a concrete example of where that works in practice. It is one of 221 sightings filed under Software Development on Agent Sightings (number 138 by interest), and one of 255 involving Claude Code.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Claude Code or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Explore the app with Playwright as a new user. Compare what you find to docs/, list knowledge gaps, and draft PR-ready markdown for the three biggest gaps.
Tip: Work on a fresh branch, ask for a plan before edits, and review the diff and test results before merging.
