Publish (Snapshot Deployment)

Example workflows

Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.

1. 01

   Stand it up from scratch

   You have read the record and want Publish (Snapshot Deployment) working in a real project rather than a sandbox.

   Set up Publish (Snapshot Deployment) in this project — deploy project snapshots to live URLs with metadata controls. Walk it end to end, tell me exactly what you changed, and flag anything I have to switch on myself before it works.

   Expected outcome

   A working setup, a plain list of what changed, and a short list of anything left for you to switch on. Check that list before assuming it is done.

2. 02

   Shipping a project publicly

   The record lists this as one of the jobs Publish (Snapshot Deployment) is meant for, so it is a fair first test of whether it fits your app.

   In this project, use Publish (Snapshot Deployment) for shipping a project publicly. Build the smallest version that a real user could complete end to end, keep the change scoped to that path, and tell me how to test it myself.

   Expected outcome

   One complete path a user can walk, the files and settings that changed, and the steps to test it. Walk it yourself before you ship it.

3. 03

   Review it before you publish

   Publish (Snapshot Deployment) is wired in and you are about to put it in front of people. This is the pass that catches the half-configured version.

   Review how this project uses Publish (Snapshot Deployment) before I publish. Check snapshot deployment to live URL and metadata controls (favicon, title, OG image), list anything that is missing, misconfigured, or only half wired, fix what is safe to fix, and tell me what you left alone and why.

   Expected outcome

   A findings list split into what was fixed and what was left, with a reason for each. Anything left alone is yours to decide on.

4. 04

   Updating a live app on demand

   A second job the record lists for Publish (Snapshot Deployment), useful once the first path works.

   Extend this project so Publish (Snapshot Deployment) also covers updating a live app on demand. Reuse what is already wired rather than adding a parallel setup, and tell me what you reused and what is new.

   Expected outcome

   A second path built on the same setup, plus a note on what was shared and what was added.
