 "title": "Turn a project idea into a roadmap that buildings execute",
 "page_title": "How to turn a project idea into a roadmap that buildings execute with Sprawling Agents",
 "summary": "Have the Mayor write a roadmap and hand each building its part through plan.",
 "who": "A small team lead who has a project idea but no written plan, and wants the work split across buildings with a standing goal.",
 "problem": "Ideas stay in chat and nobody tracks which part is ready to start or who owns it.",
 "outcome": "A hierarchical plan in the city, with ready nodes dispatched and in-progress runs visible to you.",
 "steps": [
  "Start the city with `sprawling up ./cities/first`.",
  "Press Esc in the terminal to open the city's CLI and talk to the Mayor.",
  "Ask the Mayor to write the idea down as a roadmap and hand each building its part through `plan`.",
  "Set a standing goal so the plan nodes that are ready get dispatched.",
  "Type `/help` to list the slash commands for steering, pausing and checking the work."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the 2youg1/sprawling-agents repo, start a city with `sprawling up ./cities/first` and ask the Mayor to draft a roadmap for the project described in <project brief>. Expected output: a hierarchical plan with one part per building. Verify that each plan node names an owning building before you accept it.",

  "A model provider account you can connect, or a local model",
  "A browser to use the page the city opens",
  "Alpha software: data formats and the interface may change between versions"
