Sheet → Internal Tool Brief
Turn a sample spreadsheet header row into a one-page internal-tool brief that names the user, the job to be done, the three fields that matter, and the deferred pile.
What this proves
Most internal-tool requests are over-scoped on day one. The brief is the cheap pre-mortem: one user, one job, three fields, before anyone opens a code editor.
How it works
What This Proves
Google's I/O 2026 AI Studio and Workspace updates made prompt-to-app flows feel closer to everyday work. The skipped middle is the scoping step that decides whether the right app gets built.
This build is the scoping step. Paste a bundled sample header row and the brief returns who the tool is for, the single job it covers, the three fields that earn their place, and the deferred pile with a reason per row.
What This Build Does
- Accepts a bundled sample header row (no Sheets API, no auth, nothing leaves the browser)
- Picks an in-scope set of fields and ranks the rest with a one-line reason
- Prints the brief as a copyable markdown block
Safety Boundaries
- Client-side only. Header parsing happens in the browser; there is no upload endpoint.
- No Google Sheets auth. The brief never connects to a real sheet.
- No PII. The sample row uses generic operational fields. Do not paste private data.
What Would Come Next
- Add a second sample row to show how a brief shifts when the user changes
- Surface a "what changed" diff between two header rows so brief edits are visible
- Wire the brief into a follow-on build that proposes a simple app schema
