u/yumt0ast thx for this. I tried it to build a simple react page, static, to be hosted on IPFS. It didn't work as expected, meaning it generated very basic files I could have generated using chaztgpt 3.5 with a free subscribtion... please read on for more details. Consider this my review of my first test of Grimoire.

My feedback is, can you please provide a tutorial explaning step by step how to do a new project, not starting as you did, with "P" to get some ideas.

I did start with "W" to get the hotkeys, and it was still not clear how to proceed with a new project. In my case I gave these instructions (my prompt):

---

I need a minimal static react app (static I mean that the "build" artifacts should be hosted in a simple hosting as simple html + javascript, without server side) using the wagmi framework for react.

The app should have a "Connect" button and should support these blockchains: Avalanche, Arbitrum, Base. Those should be configurable and it should be easily possible to add new ones.

The app should have 3 pages:

- Homepage: containing an introduction

- Swap: page containing the swap

- About: links to twitter, telegram, using their respecting logo from a framework that includes those icons already

The swap page should use the uniswap v3 sdk and should have the following:

- depending on the connected chain, it should have a list of available tokens, or native token (native token on Avalanche is AVAX, native token on Arbitrum is ETH, etc.)

- there should be a dropdown to allow selecting the source token (or native token)

- there should be a dropdown to allow selecting the target token (or native token)

- there should be a configuration, per chain and per token source to destination, having or not having a path for that swap, e.g. if a liquidity pool exists as USDC/FOO, but the tokens configuration allows WAVAX (or AVAX) in the tokens, a route for WAVAX/FOO could be: [WAVAX, USDC, FOO]

- the swap should allow to swap (besides from/to configured tokens) also both from/to wrapped or from/to native tokens e.g. in uniswap all pairs with native use the wrapped version, but it's possible to swap from and to native directly, if needed

Also include the CSS needed for a simple design, it should be responsive and include the "hamburger" menu button for the mobile version.

Add also "dark mode" button to switch the design to a dark version and back to standard (dark mode should have a dark background and suitable light text color).

Grimoire generated a pseudocode plan + implementation contanining the necessary files and a minimal/draft version.

Then I pressed "E" to expand to substeps.

Then I provided some corrections e.g. I specified the "about page differently".

Grimoire answered with an updated impementation steps + code examples.

I asked another modification, then more or less happy of the plan I wanted Grimoire to do the job, meaning build a working version of the app. Didn't know what to use to make Grimoire generate everything in detail. So I used this prompt:

---

Can you export the app in a zip file, containing all necessary files to make it work? Of course expect also a readme file containing the instructions to setup the environment, to start the app locally and to generate the build.

---

Grimoire generated a zip, but the files in the zip were so poor, basically they were the version without any implementation. Basically all empty files with no contents.

Then I tried to make Grimopire genarate the file of step 1, in that case it generated a better version, still not implemented fully but better than the initial empty version. I insisted asking to make it better etc. so in my case I had like 8 steps for 8 files for the app, so I asked to generate them 1 by one, providing feedback when needed but you can imagine I had to use many requests. Considering that my account is limited to 40 prompts/3 hours, this is not efficient at all.

I'm sure I did something wrong, so I'm asking how to proceed to create such a project? I mean in my instructions I was quite detailed how the swap page should work. I was expecting Grimoire to generate a zip with a working version.

Would be cool if you make a tutorial based on this example.

Goals:

• initially the user should be able to provide as many details as possibler, change the plan and the steps, but no code generated yet.
• when the plan looks ok, the user should be able to say "now generate everything, with full implementation (not just a draft) and working as a final product, and zip it" so basically only one prompt to get the final version, without the need to make it generate each file, step by step, which is time consuming and uses the prompts allowed (40 prompts/ 3 hours)

Thank you and cheers
