Our newly rebuilt agent was incredibly capable, but the dashboard had ballooned. We initially designed a system with five distinct tabs to manage different aspects of development.
It was overwhelming. We realized developer cognitive load is the ultimate bottleneck.
We ruthlessly chopped the interface down to three streamlined tabs:
* **Docs**: For specifications and project requirements.
* **Kanban**: For tracking active features and task pipelines.
* **Build**: For visual spatial editing and live execution previews.
This simplification made the agent's work transparent, focused, and immediately understandable.

Key Lessons & Engineering Principles
- 1Features must be pruned ruthlessly to highlight the core value of the product.
- 2A developer interface should minimize cognitive load, not maximize tool count.
- 3Grouping views into Docs, Kanban, and Build cleanly covers the entire software build lifecycle.
